Principal’s Message

Aspire East Palo Alto Charter School is celebrating our 25th year in SY 2021-2022 and we are dedicated to preparing all of our students for college and career success. We deeply value the impact belonging and connection has on a community and know it is key to helping a scholar grow. We believe in data-driven rigorous instruction designed to put our students on the road to academic success that uplifts the whole child. We are a TK-8 public charter school in East Palo Alto with a rich history in the community we serve. Our vision has been rooted in celebrating our scholars’ identities so that they can be advocates, allies, and changemakers within our community. Our students, families, and educators exude joy and love. As we work to advance our work to equitably serve students in EPA, please join us in this work. Our community partners, volunteers, and supporters enable us to meet the needs of our students and our community.
