Marking a Leadership Transition: Thank You, Mala

Today, we celebrate Aspire’s incredible leader, Mala Batra, who has dedicated the last 14 years to Aspire Public Schools, with the past six as CEO. This week, Mala announced that she will be transitioning out of her role as CEO at the end of this school year. While this marks the end of an extraordinary chapter, we are thrilled that she will remain part of our community in an advisory capacity as we move forward.

During her tenure, Mala has led with heart, courage, and a deep commitment to educational equity. She has guided Aspire through pivotal moments with clarity, care, and an unwavering dedication to our scholars. Mala’s leadership not only broadened opportunities for our scholars, but also helped shape the very fabric of Aspire’s work and purpose.

On behalf of the Aspire community, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mala for her extraordinary service. Her impact will be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Mala!
