Erick, a first-generation college student, will attend Haverford College this fall, where his scholarship will cover tuition, housing, meals, and other related expenses. He plans to study electrical engineering, and we can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make.
👏Congratulations, Erick, your hard work, perseverance, and #GryphonGrit are an inspiration to our entire Atlas community.
And a huge shoutout to Ms. Wilson (pictured here with Erick), one of Atlas High School's College & Career Advisors, who supported Erick as he applied for this remarkable opportunity!

Ever wonder what an Atlas CLDE Interventionist does? 💬📚
First things first, CLDE stands for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education.
At Atlas High School, Ms. Mejia supports students by building language skills, confidence, and real-world communication, helping students strengthen how they listen, speak, and connect with others across learning environments.
Recently, her CLDE class took those skills on the road! As part of their final project, our high school students visited our elementary students to interview first-grade students. They practiced thoughtful questioning, active listening, and relationship-building while recording conversations about birthdays, favorite things, and fun facts, learning just as much from the first graders as they shared with them.
This kind of hands-on, cross-campus learning is a powerful example of how Atlas's CLDE support helps students grow as communicators, leaders, and mentors within our Atlas community.

📚✨ Read-A-Thon Magic at Atlas Elementary! ✨📚
The day kicked off in the coziest way possible. Students and staff rolled in wearing PJs and ready to read! 📖 A lively morning assembly featured mystery readers, where students listened to stories over the speakers and tried to match each voice to the right photo. So much laughter and excitement!
Classroom areas were transformed into mini libraries thanks to our incredibly creative teachers, and reading continued all day long. It was a truly special celebration of books, imagination, and community, the first of many reading adventures to come! 💙📚✨
