Highlander Folk School, in Monteagle Tennessee, reminds us all that a school is not a building; it is the people in the building who teach, inspire, and help envision a better future that defines a school.

Since our inception and all along the way, many individuals from our wider community have become lasting participants in the mission of Value Schools. Many of these figures found personal resonance in our values and with the students and families we serve.

None exemplify this long-term engagement more than Dr. Terrence Roberts, PhD.

University Prep Value High School Earns College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award

All of us on the Value Schools We Climb committee are so grateful to those of you who have contributed to our capital campaign, in the past and especially in 2020. Our year-end challenge match was 100% successful, with donations matched dollar for dollar by the Stanford alumni on our boards, Vince Gonzales, Jeff Garcia and Juan Bustamante.

We are fortunate to celebrate the birthday of a great leader today. Last year at this time, students and educators from our four schools participated and marched for Martin Luther King, Jr. We look forward to the day when we can do this again!

During this holiday season, Dr. Grimes provided 100 families with a much appreciated holiday bag of groceries in an effort to relieve food insecurity.
