The mission of RiseUp Community School is to engage young people who have previously dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out in a supportive learning environment that holds each student to high expectations, cultivates social justice, and inspires every student to achieve a high school diploma and become prepared for college and careers after graduation. School Overview: We believe that all students deserve an education rich in experience that allows students to be agents of change in their own lives. RiseUp Community School is a high school that operates in collaboration with Mile High Youth Corps to provide students with a community integrated and context based education.
