Alliance for Education

Alliance for Education The Alliance advances racial equity & educational justice for students in Seattle Public Schools. Public education is the cornerstone of democracy.

We’re on a mission to ensure every child in Seattle Public Schools is prepared for success in college, career and life. The Alliance for Education exists for the singular purpose of promoting excellence in public education in Seattle. We view Seattle Public Schools as essential to the health and vitality of our city. Our shared vision is of Seattle Public Schools as a high-performing, highly regar

ded urban school system, equipped to provide an excellent education to every student. Eliminating achievement gaps between student groups, which exist primarily along the lines of race, income, and ethnicity, is foundational to this vision. We believe our collective moral and economic responsibility is to ensure every child, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, zip code, or home circumstance, has the opportunity to succeed academically and to participate fully in the economic and cultural bounty of American life. We are dedicated to helping build and sustain a successful, innovative, joyful school system of which Seattleites can be proud. After more than 20 years, we remain passionately committed to strengthening our community, economy, and democracy through high quality public education.

Principal McDaniel asks her staff to remember WHY they are in this work of supporting students every day, sharing her own story.

Students today remind her of herself as a young person, and the lasting impact school staff have on youth.

That’s why we’re proud to name her and Highland Park Elementary our second Foster Award of 2026! Please help us to congratulate Principal Mary McDaniel!

It's not every day that your school is awarded $25,000 for having a great principal. 🤑 That's exactly what happened last week as we surprised Viewlands Elementary during an assembly with a BIG check and award for their growth in educational justice!

🎉 What a day at Viewlands!

Congratulations to Principal Carrie Wheeler & Viewlands Elementary School, recipients of the 2026 Foster Award! 🏆

Today’s surprise assembly was full of joy, celebration, community spirit AND a circus from past PE teacher. The afternoon was full of cheers in the gym for a $25,000 check AND for getting to jump over the principals at Viewlands in a relay race.

It was an honor to celebrate & invest in a school community leading with belonging, care, and opportunity for every student.

Where will our second (and final) Foster award school of 2026 be? You'll have to wait a little longer to find out! 👀
