Congratulations to the 14 inaugural institutions earning the Carnegie Elective Classification for Sustainability. Grateful to @CUBoulder @ACEducation and to every 2025 pilot campus that helped shape the framework and review criteria. na2.hubs.ly/H080M5w0
Access alone is not enough. As one of 478 Opportunity Colleges, @CollegeofStMary ensures first-gen women in Omaha can transfer seamlessly and learn flexibly. We're thrilled to close our OCU series with @ACEducation by spotlighting their incredible work: na2.hubs.ly/H07-VXp0

Congratulations to Grand Rapids Public Museum High School, a member of our Future of High School Network with @XQAmerica, for demonstrating for the Michigan State Board of Education what high school transformation looks like in practice. na2.hubs.ly/H07QYmC0

Grateful for a full day in New York with @CollegeBoard, @ExcelinEd and state teams from across the country, working through how we recruit, prepare and support the teachers who make career-connected learning possible for students.
Through RAZ-32, three rural districts in East Central Indiana share instructors, facilities, and career pathways across district lines, so that a student's access to precision machining or health science no longer depends on the size of their high school.
For a century, GPAs were built to sort students, not to show what they can do. We're so thrilled that three systems in our Future of High School Network are rewriting that record: @CalAreaSD, @GRPublicSchools, and @PiperUSD203. Read on and share: na2.hubs.ly/H07kZqH0
What if we ranked colleges by opportunity instead of prestige? The result is 478 institutions of every size, type and region that pair high access with competitive earnings. Read our full take on why Opportunity Colleges and Universities (OCU) matter: na2.hubs.ly/H0769-50
At @LIBERTYSCHOOLS, big change started small. On the @Getting_Smart podcast, hear how this Future of High School Network member built a 100-student microschool to test competency-based learning before scaling districtwide: na2.hubs.ly/H06_shL0
Proud to see RAZ-32 — a member of our Future of High School Network with XQ Institute — featured in @The74! Through their work, rural Indiana districts are sharing classes and instructors so students can reach even more career pathways: na2.hubs.ly/H06_rM10
