Welcome Eagles and Eagle Families,

It is with eager anticipation and gratitude that we welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Aspire Capitol Heights Academy (CHA)! 

At CHA, our vision is clear:
Our scholars will be prepared and empowered to build a fulfilling and liberated future for
themselves and their communities.

 Empowering Minds. Transforming Futures.
We are committed to academic excellence, cultivating student voice and identity, and equipping every scholar with the tools they need to thrive in college, career, and life.

Our Goals for the Year:

1. Ensure all scholars are engaged in rigorous, standards-aligned, and culturally responsive academic learning.
2. Foster safe, inclusive, and joyful learning environments where every student feels seen and valued.
3. Provide all scholars access to a team of diverse, effective professionals committed to anti-racist, student-centered practices.

Family Partnership & Engagement

• Helping with outreach and family engagement
• Participating in parent groups, the School Site Council (SSC), and monthly family events
