Launched by CREEED and El Paso Community Foundation, 8 schools in El Paso have created design teams to be part of inaugural design cohort<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

El Paso, Texas<\/b> – Eight schools in El Paso County are coming together as part of a new initiative to reimagine and transform their local campuses – guided by input from teachers, students, counselors, parents and campus staff – so they can better support the academic, social and emotional well-being of all their students and prepare them to succeed in college and beyond.  The <\/span>\u201cEl Paso School Design Collaborative,\u201d<\/b> is a new initiative launched by <\/span>CREEED<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>The El Paso Community Foundation<\/span><\/a>, in partnership with the national education organization <\/span>Transcend<\/span><\/a>, to build student-centered success models across more campuses in the El Paso region that take into account all the support systems and innovative programs that students need to be successful in their educational journey. <\/span><\/p>\n

The effort began through community listening sessions that invited parents, former El Paso students, counselors and college advisors, teachers, and principals to share how their schools are preparing students for college and career success as well as their thoughts on the greatest needs that schools should be addressing as they work with students. The listening sessions revealed a need to innovate and think differently about the services and programs that schools offer students, and the role that every adult on a school campus plays in supporting student outcomes. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abThe El Paso Community has been such an inspiring partnership for all of us at Transcend because leaders are deeply invested in listening to young people, caregivers and educators to co-create a vision and path for the future of schools. We deeply believe that this type of collaboration will transcend school design beyond isolated initiatives that only go so far — and instead build school models that create extraordinary outcomes for all students and educators,\u00bb said <\/span>Aylon Samouha, co-CEO of Transcend<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight schools part of the School Design Collaborative will embark on a 10 month process of gathering data about the needs of their students, exploring solutions to these needs, and implementing programs – and ultimately a model – for how all adults on campus can work together to support students. These schools include:<\/span><\/p>\n
