25 Years of Transforming Public Education
For 25 years, Green Dot Public Schools has been a driving force in reimagining what public education can be—anchored in the belief that every student deserves access to a high-quality education and a future filled with possibility. From our first school to the thriving network we are today, we’ve remained committed to ensuring that all students—regardless of background or zip code—graduate ready for college, leadership, and life. Through innovative teaching, personalized learning, and unwavering belief in our students’ potential, we’ve helped shape a generation of changemakers.
