Anyone who really knows the Schoolhouse knows that community means something different around here. You may call it a little bit of magic or our hidden curriculum. Sometimes we call it inspired learning and fearless curiosity. No matter how long ago or how recently the Schoolhouse was your primary community, there is something that will always bind us together, even when we are apart as we’ve learned these past few months.
This year as we celebrate 75 years of community, during a time when we have many questions, we find solace in knowing that Hollywood Schoolhouse is asking itself some important questions as well. How do we show up for each other during uncertain times? How can we ensure that our community reflects the Los Angeles community, and that more families have access to a Schoolhouse education? How do we amplify all of the voices in our community? What does our neighborhood need from us right now? How can we continue to think strategically and boldly about our future? How do we educate the next generation of leaders? What will the world need of them?
