Rocketship Dream Community Prep had a special guest on campus last week! Our CEO and Co-Founder, Preston Smith, stopped by to help out during this back-to-school season. Although he’s no longer a classroom teacher, Mr. Smith still finds joy in simple moments like helping our Rocketeers get to class. 💜🚀

As we launch into a new school year at Rocketship Public Schools, the sight of tears, smiles, and pure joy on the faces of parents and students on their first day is a powerful reminder of the transformative journey we’re embarking on together. The excitement is noticeable as we anticipate the educational impact our phenomenal teachers and leaders will have on our students this year. I am deeply grateful for the hard work our educators have poured into preparing for this moment, ensuring every child is set up for success. It is an honor to serve on the Board of Directors for Rocketship, and I look forward to supporting our mission of delivering an excellent education to every student. #studentachievement #academicsuccess #studentlearning #supportteachers #milwaukee #backtoschool

Congratulations, Fernanda! Go Trojans! 💜💛❤️
After a long college application process and an even tougher decision-making process, I am excited to finally share that I will be attending the University of Southern California this upcoming fall! I am the first in my family to attend college, and I am blessed beyond measure to be doing so on a full scholarship. Thank you to USC’s Madeline & Bruce Ramer Endowed Scholarship Fund and KIPP Public Schools Northern California’s Webb Scholarship for making this possible. I would also like to thank Rocketship Public Schools, whose organizers and teachers have consistently supported me throughout this academic journey. Your encouragement and support are greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to continue learning and am excited to see what this journey holds. If you have any networks in Los Angeles, please feel free to contact me! I’m eager to meet new organizations and people to collaborate with. I’m ready to take advantage of every opportunity, and can’t wait for everyone to see my capabilities. Fight on!✌️❤️

"As I am writing this, I’m looking at the envelopes on my desk with the letters that are sure to change my life – my acceptances to UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California for the fall. While I’m not yet sure which one I’ll attend, I am so proud to say that I also was accepted into Boston University (as a Trustee Scholar), UC Davis, UC Irvine, Santa Clara University, George Washington University, CSU Long Beach, and San Jose State University. And furthermore, I won a Webb Scholarship which means I will go to college debt-free." Students like Fernanda prove why school choice is so important: having access to an education from Rocketship Fuerza as a child has propelled her to have the option to choose between eleven outstanding universities for her college experience. Congratulations, Fernanda! Wherever you go, we'll be cheering you on.🚀💜
