OUR VISION

LPS - San Jose's vision is that all students - regardless of background, ethnicity, or neighborhood - receive an excellent education that prepares them to succeed in college and improve their community.

OUR MISSION

LPS’s mission is to serve diverse and traditionally underserved students by building a network of outstanding small public high schools where we:

• Prepare our students to succeed in college and beyond.
• Develop effective student leaders, and
• Partner and share best practices with school districts to strengthen
both ourselves and other public schools.

LEADERSHIP VALUES

COMMITMENT:
All students, staff and members of the Leadership community unwaveringly focus on producing strong academic performance and student leadership development. This means doing what it takes to prepare all LPS students for college and beyond. This is absolutely necessary if we are going to achieve our personal, school, organization, and community goals. There are no short cuts.

RESPECT:
All students, staff and members of the Leadership community work together as a team and treat each other with dignity and civility. What we do and say affects ourselves, each other, and our schools.

RESPONSIBILITY:
All students, staff and members of the Leadership community take responsibility for their own actions and the actions of the community. In order to create schools with extraordinary results and successful students, each person must not only carry his or her own weight, but also go the extra mile for others.
