From our staff…

Equality challenges me to take risks, come outside of my comfort zone and grow as an educator and a leader. I love the freedom to be myself and allow my students to be themselves.

Deanna Melendez High School Music Teacher

When I came to work at Equality, I immediately felt a sense of camaraderie and excitement around the work. The leadership and teaching staff have always made me feel supported and appreciated.

Lisa Romano High School Director of Instruction

I love working at Equality because we prioritize serving scholars who would otherwise be ignored, cast aside, or mistreated. We love and respect our scholars as humans, not just students!

Amanda Huza Middle School Principal

Equality invests in my future of being a school leader by sending me to personalized PDs and meeting with our Math consultant. When I see a future with Equality, I feel more driven in my role.
