We thank you for your interest and invite you to tour our website to learn more about our mission, history, approach to instruction, and campuses.

Excellence Community Schools (ECS) was developed to increase our impact and enhance our National Blue Ribbon award-winning model as we expand to serve more scholars, families, and communities.

Our schools cultivate lifelong learners equipped with the courage to dream, the skills to succeed, and the unrelenting pursuit of excellence. Whether it is through our high expectations for academics and conduct, our co-curricular programming, our community-based partnerships, the creative arts, or technology, we strive to provide our scholars with the competitive edge they need to compete for seats in prestigious high schools, universities, and chosen career paths.

We believe that schools are the heartbeat of a community. High-quality schools have the power to elevate entire communities, from raising property values to bringing together generations of family members, and embracing a multitude of cultures all invested in the future generation of scholars, innovators, leaders, workforce, and global citizens.

ECS is a charter management organization driving the expansion of our nationally recognized model. We aim to change the longstanding narrative of inequality in historically underserved communities by closing achievement, opportunity, and creativity gaps. 

The two blue flags in our logo underpin our commitment to uphold the high quality of education that earned our flagship campus a National Blue Ribbon Award, as well as a highly competitive award from the U.S. Department of Education for the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools.

This is a personal investment for us. We want the best for our scholars in the same manner that we want the best for our own children. Through the levers of high academic standards, community pride, accountability, positive work habits, and persistence, our schools are preparing our next generation of innovators and problem-solvers so we can cultivate safer, healthier, compassionate, confident, and informed citizens for a brighter and unified future.

Thank you for joining us in our journey to elevate and empower every scholar, family, and community we serve.

Sincerely,
Dr. Charlene Reid
CEO, Excellence Community Schools
