Vision: We, as a community, believe that scholars who are strong and centered in their culture can and will use their strengths to navigate and eradicate the systemic barriers they face as they journey to and through college.

Mission: ASSA’s mission is to work together as a community to teach and support the students and families of our community. We will offer a high-quality educational experience for our scholars in order to:

  • Increase student achievement for all students 
  • Monitor progress to ensure all students are performing at grade level or beyond
  • Build a strong school environment where families are partners in the work of educating children
  • Give each scholar what they need to succeed educationally and personally

As a scholar, I will fully engage and positively interact with the people who support me while on my journey to and through college. I will know, understand and appreciate my community as they work with me to:

  • Be strong and centered
  • Be academically and socially conscious
  • Be excellent in ALL my endeavors

Student mantra: 

I understand who I am, I understand where I am from, I understand where I want to go and I understand what it takes to get there.

Principal’s Message

Dear Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy Families,

As we embark on another exciting school year, I am filled with immense pride and optimism for the incredible journey that lies ahead. Our mission at Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy is to foster a nurturing and dynamic environment where every student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. To achieve this, we need your unwavering support and collaboration.

Student Engagement

Active student engagement is at the heart of our educational philosophy. When students are engaged, they are more likely to succeed, develop a love for learning, and become lifelong learners. I encourage you to engage with your child’s learning journey by:

  • Asking about their day and what they learned.
  • Encouraging curiosity and exploration beyond the classroom.
  • Participating in school events and activities.

Student Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social Emotional Learning is essential for our students’ overall development. It equips them with the skills to manage emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. To support SEL at home, consider:

  • Discussing the importance of empathy and understanding others’ perspectives.
  • Encouraging your child to express their feelings and thoughts openly.
  • Modeling and reinforcing positive behavior and resilience.

Building a Strong and Positive School Community

A strong and positive school community creates a safe and welcoming environment where every student feels valued and respected. We must all work together to cultivate this community by:

  • Practicing kindness and respect in all interactions.
  • Supporting school policies and initiatives that promote a positive culture.
  • Volunteering and participating in school events.

As we work together towards these goals, let us be guided by the principles of the Four Agreements:

  1. Be Impeccable with Your Word: Speak with integrity and say only what you mean. Use the power of your words to uplift and inspire our students.
  2. Don’t Take Anything Personally: Remember that everyone is going through their own challenges. Let’s show empathy and understanding to foster a supportive community.
  3. Don’t Make Assumptions: Seek clarity and understanding before making judgments. Open communication is key to building trust and collaboration.
  4. Always Do Your Best: Encourage your child to put forth their best effort in all endeavors, and let’s model this commitment as parents and educators.

Together, we can create an enriching and supportive environment that empowers our students to reach their highest potential. Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school community. Let’s make this year a remarkable one!

Warm regards,

Dr. LaNitra Curtis
Principal, Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy
