Aspire's Core Values
Our communities (predominantly Black and Latinx) next persist in the system that does not adequately educate everyone. Aspire Public Schools aims to transform the disproportionate outcomes that are a product of that system. We believe that this set of core values can guide how we think and work together towards greater racial, social, and gender equity across our schools and communities.
