At New Heights Charter School we are celebrating our 9th year of operation by
asking members of the community to come join us in supporting our students’
learning. New Heights is a public charter school and a non-profit organization. Our
school serves low-income African-American and Latino students in South Los
Angeles – over 60% of our families live below the poverty line and 98% qualify for
the free lunch program. New Heights prepares students to use their minds well and
become capable, caring citizens.
