About us
Uplift Education (Uplift) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates a network of 45 high-performing, tuition-free, public charter schools serving 23,000 students in under-served areas across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. We are a reform-minded organization that has attracted funding from local and national donors such as the Communities Foundation of Texas and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. Uplift's mission is to create and sustain public schools of excellence that empower students to reach their highest potential and inspire a lifelong love of learning, achievement, service, and responsible citizenship. Each school provides free college preparatory education in a community that has limited high quality public education options. Our goal is to completely CLOSE the achievement gap between students, regardless of their ethnic or socio-economic background, while ensuring that 100% of our students graduate and enroll in college. Commit to Community: Our community approach means that we actively reach out to local leaders and invite them to help us improve education in their communities by serving on our local boards and being advocates for our mission in their local neighborhoods. Commit to Change: By nurturing academic performance and civic responsibility from kindergarten through high school, we do more than expand our students’ horizons. We also change people’s perceptions of what is possible in public education.

Yesterday, we kicked off the new school year with our annual Convocation, centered around the theme "Elevating Expectations," one of Uplift’s core values. The event brought together our entire Uplift Education Network, aligning us with the same goals and mission as we embark on the new school year. We proudly recognized our first-year directors, employees with 15+ years of service, and Top Hat winners who demonstrate the dedication and excellence that define our network. The day was energized by electrifying performances from the Uplift Wisdom Drumline, Warriorettes, and Uplift Crescendo Primary Cheerleaders. And to top it off, our very own President, DJ Remy, made a special appearance! We were also deeply moved by a surprise visit from three Uplift alumni, Gaston Hernandez, Christianah Adejokun, and Gio Sanchez who shared their personal journeys and the profound impact Uplift educators, and staff have had on their lives. It was a powerful reminder to everyone in the room of the significant role they play as changemakers. This Convocation set a positive tone for the uplifting days ahead. As we embark on this new academic year, we remain committed to our core values and to consistently elevating expectations. #UpliftConvocation #ElevatingExpectations #LivingOurCoreValues #UpliftEducation #UpliftBTS

Our Summer Youth Exploration Program at Baylor Scott & White is inspiring our Scholars and Alumni to explore unique opportunities in the medical field, such as Art Medicine. Recently, they visited the open art studio, engaging in drip art and learning from art and music therapists about the role of art in creating a healing environment. This experience highlights the diverse pathways within the medical field beyond traditional roles like doctors and nurses. Opportunities like these spark interest in young learners as they discover their future career paths. #UpliftEducation #ArtsInMedicine #HealthcareInnovation
