Transformation High Schools: Lessons from Sacramento High

St. HOPE is proud to release a white paper, Transformation High Schools: Lessons from Sacramento High. In 2003, St. HOPE undertook one of the nation’s first efforts to transform a failing urban high school when it reinvented Sacramento High. The white paper outlines our story, results, lessons learned and plans for the future. The report further identifies critical expected outcomes for transformation high schools and describes how the St. HOPE model for success evolved.
