Rosie the Riveter Charter High School

Mission Statement

Rosie the Riveter Charter High School helps “at-risk” (“at-promise”) students who have not succeeded in traditional public schools turn their lives around and become socially successful while achieving academic levels necessary for high school graduation and success in registered apprenticeships in the construction and building trades. We are committed to community transformation through education, life skills training, employment training, violence prevention strategies, and family advocacy.

Opened in September 2007, Rosie the Riveter Charter High School champions the spirit of progressive education; by providing a rigorous, standards-based secondary education and the opportunity to experience the world around us.

In addition to core academic classes, we provide a rich elective and innovating program that offer our students a chance to explore the opportunities that community colleges offer such as culinary arts and auto repair. In addition students interested in construction and  public utilities industry will be able to explore these career opportunities. Our students can “test drive a career” so to speak, and learn about the skills and earning potential these careers offered.  We offer;
