KIPP: Pride High School's electronic newsletter, "Pride High Times", is designed to allow for regular communication between the school, scholars, families and community to relay important school information and events.

The Pride High Times can be access on the KIPP: Pride High's website.

At KIPP: Pride High School, our motto is “We learn not for school, but for life.” Our mission is to create a rigorous and joyful learning environment, that provides every scholar with the academic, social and emotional skills necessary to live a life of academic and professional choice. Together, with our scholars, we will lead and serve in our school, community, and will fight for social justice, impacting society, now, and for generations to come.

Core values are the ethics and ideals that we hold dear and guides how we work and interact together as a Pride. Click this link to read about or core values of Leadership, Excellence, Integrity, Humility, and Community.

A sense of community is an essential element in providing students with a meaningful education. We strive to be a purposeful place of learning in which every student, staff member and family feels special connections. Shared rituals play a powerful role in creating the larger school community in which the smaller, personalized communities of learners can exist. We are also part of a broader community, and through our commitment to the school and the larger community, our talents and knowledge become long lasting and more meaningful when they are shared with others.

Over the summer we have added a few new members to the Panther family and are excited about the talents and enthusiam they will bring to Pride High. Please join me in welcoming them to our team and family.
