Dear Parents and guardians of the QUAD,

We are thrilled to share with you our inaugural newsletter for our beautiful new school - the QUAD! Where one student said “Everyone here has a chance to make it in life”

Students of the QUAD are driven and excited to get into their passion and pathway with the knowledge that they will graduate with their skills. Students know we are a hub - This is a community of hopes and dreams!

The mission of the QUAD is to prepare students to become community leaders, productive members of society, and lifelong learners through effective communication and collaboration, and through fostering a positive post-secondary culture and engaged community. 

“This new environment gives you something to look forward to, it is an honor to be apart of this new learning experience” 

"I like the quad, it’s chill…it's a better environment for me." 

"I like how it feels like a college campus and it's pretty peaceful."

We are excited to share an update on the initiatives being developed at the QUAD based on feedback from our students. Our staff is working to build a more collaborative and engaging environment by focusing on four key areas: Collaboration, Communication, Community, and Culture where we will be offering student-led programs and initiatives to provide meaningful learning opportunities aligned to the skills employers are looking for in today's employment candidates.

Dear Families,

At The Quad, our goal is to provide students from across the city with opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive in spaces that have been thoughtfully designed with their futures in mind. Our beautiful new building reflects this vision, offering an atmosphere that mirrors the feel of a junior college while remaining deeply student-centered. Students are enjoying the many collaborative spaces and flexible seating options that encourage them to work together, share ideas, and take ownership of their learning experience.

One of the greatest strengths of The Quad is the way it brings together students from Auburn, East, Guilford, and Jefferson. Here, young people are forming new friendships, building connections, and creating bonds that will last a lifetime. Their voices matter, and student feedback is already shaping school decisions and the culture of our community. We are proud to say that everything we do is for the students—and with the students—at the center.
