Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is the third-largest school district in the nation, serving a vibrant, multicultural community of over 330,000 students who represent roughly 160 countries and speak more than 50 languages. With nearly half of the student body qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, our mission is unwavering: to provide a world-class education for all students.
Guided by our community-driven Portrait of a Graduate framework, our vision is to foster educational excellence and prepare students for a global society by cultivating critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability. To turn this vision into reality, M-DCPS is actively expanding access to highly rigorous coursework including the Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge programs, and robust dual enrollment partnerships with local higher education institutions to ensure every student is equipped for post-secondary success.
Joining the Social Mobility Leadership Network will provide an invaluable platform to share our district’s experiences, scale our successes, and gain innovative strategies to elevate student outcomes across the board.
