Principal’s Message

Dear Families and Community,

The Aspire Lionel Wilson Prep staff, faculty, and I are excited to support your child during the formidable years of their educational journey.

Our dedicated teachers and staff strive to improve the learning experiences for our scholars continually. We exist in service of your children and deeply value our partnership with you and your family.

Aspire LWP will promote three priorities: aligned expectations, liberation and inclusion, and academic excellence.

  1. Aligned Expectations: We want students to have the same procedures and routines across the school and every classroom so they always know what is expected of them to be successful. We have high expectations and support for all learners.
  2. Liberation and Inclusion: We want our scholars and staff to know they belong to a welcoming, inclusive community at Aspire LWP.
  3. Academic Excellence: Our teachers provide students with carefully planned, culturally responsive lessons with clear criteria, regular feedback, and academic discourse.

Our students will feel loved and challenged to do their best by succeeding in our focus areas. We educate our students to be change-makers, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers that we need to have a more equitable and just world. At LWP, we believe education is liberation.

Join us in providing your scholar with a high-quality education that they deserve to have bountiful postsecondary options.

With gratitude,

Mr. Gonzalez
Principal
LWP
