Why is LAUNCH adding value in today's education?

LAUNCH involves the community in sharing the responsibility and privilege of educating our students. As the proverb goes, "it takes a village." Business involvement in instruction/training and project experiences with students in LAUNCH offers development of skills that prepare students to be college, career, AND life-ready. 

What is your personal highlight from LAUNCH?

I am consistently recognizing growth in myself as a result of my participation in the training experiences that the students receive in LAUNCH. I have learned alongside the students about teamwork, project management and giving/receiving feedback. Participating in the StrengthFinders assessment and training has allowed me to understand myself and others better. The professional and personal growth I have experienced as a result of my participation in the LAUNCH program has been tremendous. 

LAUNCH IS... pioneering a new direction for the high school experience.
