Speak Up Highland Park is a partnership of local community leaders, business owners and concerned citizens who believe that an excellent public school system is vital to the well-being of the entire community. As advocates for the city’s public schools, we believe:
- An excellent school system is central to maintaining property values and to preserving our city as a superior place in which to live, work and raise a family;
- Our public schools must be competitive with the best districts in the state in terms of key educational benchmarks, including facilities, class size, classroom technology, curriculum development, extracurricular activities and, in turn, scholastic achievement.
- A quality educational experience must be provided for the children of all residents - and that the diverse student populations our schools enjoy should be reflected both in our curriculum and in the educational support services provided; and
- Quality school- and community-based extracurricular programs are central to ensuring a successful public school experience.
