Aspire University Charter School

Aspire University Charter School has been serving students since 1999. We are a TK-5th grade Elementary school with approximately 420 students.  At UCS we feel it is important to provide access to education for all families and students.  We do this by examining our own beliefs about equity and engaging in professional development that is aligned with our Aspire Equity Commitments.

We have a dedicated group of families who regularly facilitate and attend our ELAC/SSC meetings. If translation is needed we provide it.  We value social-emotional learning and prioritize it in our school day. We have created a five-year plan with a focus on building a robust program that will meet the needs of our students who are classified as English Language Learners. 

Our team works in the field of education because we care deeply about students and families.  The UCS team is dedicated to putting customer service at the forefront.  It is our honor and pleasure to work with families and students. 

This is the start of my 24th year at Aspire UCS, and I can say without hesitation that our students, families, and staff make UCS a beautiful place. If you are interested in joining our UCS family I encourage you to call the office. We are happy to answer any questions. We also love giving tours of our campus. 

If you are already part of the UCS family please don’t hesitate to share your ideas, questions, and concerns with me. We are your partners in education, and we are here to serve you and your children.
