Announcing the Semi-Finalists for the 2nd Annual BH IMPACT Summit & Awards!

Over the past few months, charter schools across the nation shared with us inspiring stories of Student Empowerment, Community Engagement, and Educational Innovation. Jewels of excellent education shine in communities in every state, and the depth of their dedication to their students is inspiring.

We have selected a short list of Semi-Finalists and Honorable Mentions to call out as shining examples of the impact charter schools can have on students, families, and communities.

Thank you to all the applicants to this year’s grants program for putting your love in action to help students thrive each and every day.

There is no greater gift to the world than to help a child learn.

You build lives. You build futures. You build hope.

We will be sharing the list of Finalists and our Shellie-Ann Braswell Shine Brighter Volunteer Awards finalists in March.

This year’s BH IMPACT SUMMIT will be hosted at the Miami Dade North Campus and the Intercontinental Doral on May 3 & 4. It will be open to charter leaders from across the country, so please sign up to attend by clicking HERE.
