Dear Hollister Families,
​
This May is my one year anniversary of living in Hollister. When I first arrived, I was in awe of the beauty of the natural landscape, and the welcoming spirit of the community. ​One year later, I am still impressed by the views, and the kindnesses the Hollister families have shown me. ​
​
The silver lining to not opening in 2024 is that we have had more time to synthesize the charter's foundation. The examination of our charter renewed our commitment to personalized learning, college and career preparation, CTE pathways, and reinforcing our dedication to giving students agency and teaching resiliency. Our students deserve an education that meets their academic and social-emotional needs.
​
We are thankful to the Hollister City Council for the opportunity to lease the Briggs Building. We are also so thankful for the supportive Abundant Life Church Community that was willing to be our first location.
I am working diligently to ensure that we are ready for August 6th. I look forward to the first day of school, when we can finally welcome students through our doors!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Prater
