IN SCHOOL
We already have terrific teachers, principals and school staff. To make that school team even better, we added Challenge Scholars Coordinators to help students explore college and career options and KSSN Community School Coordinators to help families access services in schools.

PARENTS/FAMILIES
Families are students first and best teachers. They attend family nights, ensure their students are in school everyday, and stay up to date on their grades and progress. Families also connect with one another and the community, creating a network of support for Challenge Scholars.
