Every day, we practice our values of respectful relationships, a supportive environment, and a culture of achievement. We have extensive external partnerships, a longer school day, and a personalized approach to learning. We work hard to make sure that our students are ready for high school, college, and beyond. At Chavez, we learn, lead, and succeed together!”
