Our Vision & Mission 

We have a big, intentional vision at Crosstown High. We aim to rethink the traditional American high school experience by being a place where every learner — students and educators alike — can thrive. We will be a community of confident thinkers and compassionate contributors who create more equitable spaces wherever we go.

Because of this, we are searching for teachers who are excited and willing to work hard to rethink high school by: 

ADVANCING EQUITY

We believe that learning leads to freedom, and so we: 

• Seek equity and justice in and beyond the classroom. 
• Empower students and teachers to use their voices for change.
• Share what we are learning with other educators

BUILDING COMMUNITY

We believe that learning happens best in an inclusive and joyful community, and so we:

• Work to create a space that reflects the diversity of our city.
• Affirm the unique identity of each learner. 
• Create opportunities for connection, having fun together, and restoring relationships when they are harmed.

DOING MEANINGFUL WORK

We believe that learning can solve problems in this uncertain world, and that the community is a natural landscape for authentic learning experiences, and so we:

• Learn through projects that address a real challenge or issue, draw on different areas of learning, and allow us to explore our interests and passions. 
• Center students through personalized learning experiences that develop the competencies we believe are necessary to thrive both now and in the future.
• Engage with our community and industry partners whenever possible.
