Higher Expectations for Racine County

Higher Expectations brings together a range of partners that are committed to student success.

Together, we identify what works and align time, talent and resources behind proven strategies to ensure students in Racine County can succeed. Higher Expectations for Racine County was founded on a simple principle: Those who care about our community’s future — from parents and educators to civic leaders and local employers — can accomplish more by working together than by working apart. Higher E

xpectations strives to build a fully capable and employed workforce here in Racine County. In order to accomplish that vision we work from career to cradle, with the goal of ensuring that every student — regardless of race, zip code, age, or family income — can succeed.

Timehop just took us back a great evening — our 10 Year Anniversary celebration at The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread two years ago today! 🎉

A room full of the people who make this work possible, a look back at a decade of progress, and a vision for future. Our official birthday was May 15th, so consider this our (slightly belated) birthday post! 🎂
