Transformation High Schools: Lessons from Sac High

St. HOPE is proud to release a white paper, Transformation High Schools: Lessons from Sac High. In 2003, St. HOPE undertook one of the nation’s first efforts to transform a failing urban high school when it reinvented Sac 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.
