The STRIPES program started in the fall of 2009 at Irondale High School with its initial freshman class. From there, the STRIPES program is now serving students within the Mounds View School District at Mounds View High School, Chippewa Middle School, Edgewood Middle School, and Highview Middle School. The STRIPES program is a result of a initial investment made by Mounds View Public Schools to ensure the Equity Promise is met for all students.
