Too few Washington state graduates are leaving high school college-ready. We’re ready to change that.
Just as Washington’s apple trees flourish through interconnected roots and shared growth, an education sector where schools, educators, and communities collaborate to support one another ensures every student has the opportunity to thrive.
We know our kids are capable of doing so much more. We need to grow the schools and systems that enable them to realize their limitless potential.
Excellent Schools Washington will:
Invest in high-performing schools and their leadership
Create networks for sharing knowledge and best practices across different education sectors
Find, guide, and train the next generation of education leaders
Make school information widely available to help families make informed decisions for their children
On May 2nd, the Excellent Schools WA (ESWA) conference brought together passionate educators from across the state committed to innovative, community-based, equitable, and student-centered learning. This year’s event featured deep discussions on research-aligned literacy practices, equipping teachers and school leaders with strategies to drive meaningful change and improve outcomes for their students. Thank you to our partner Read WA and the inspirational speakers, educators and system leaders driving change in their communities for joining us in making this first year a huge success!
