Please read and share the first story in our Future of High School Innovation Series, featuring three districts from the @CarnegieFdn and @XQAmerica Future of High School Network: Eastern Hancock Schools, @HenricoSchools, and Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership.

In southwestern Virginia, @RoanokeCountyPS is advancing one of Carnegie's eight R&D priorities: assessment that captures the full picture of a student. Senior portfolio defenses and K–12 "I Can" statements turn classwork, jobs, and volunteer life into evidence of real growth.

The early outcomes are striking. Fewer behavioral incidents, less chronic absenteeism, and stronger student grades.

In Henrico County, Mills E. Godwin and J.R. Tucker high schools are rebuilding the 9th experience around project-based learning and a community-developed durable skills framework, through the Carnegie Foundation and XQ Future of High School Network.

In rural Indiana, Eastern Hancock Schools proves that high school transformation starts with community. Through 150+ partners, family co-design, and a microschool model, they're showing what it looks like when everyone has a seat at the table.

For more than a century, American high school has measured learning largely in seat-time.

Our new Skills Progressions, developed with @ETSresearch, are part of a longer effort to build what we call a new architecture for high school. Learn about the work: https://t.co/MtdQlwP5AZ

"The barriers are not students. It's often the structures wrapped around them."

@RonaldReagan The answers won't come from any one sector. They'll come from partnerships like the ones in that room. Our thanks to every leader who showed up ready to build.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

The @RonaldReagan Presidential Foundation & Institute and the Carnegie Foundation convened leaders from across government, industry, philanthropy, and education to reimagine the high school to employment pipeline.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

Real access is more than an open door. It's an institution willing to rethink its own shape so opportunity is both available and reachable. Our latest OCU profile, on @SantaFeCollege, shows what that looks like. Read and share: : https://t.co/8GgtPxiI2n

@XQAmerica @HenricoSchools Though they differ in size, geography, and community, each is engaged in the work of making learning beyond the classroom a core part of the high school experience. The profile offers a close look at the practices and partnerships making that shift possible.

@CrosstownHigh @XQAmerica Students ask questions, go find answers, and test ideas in the classroom and community. They learn by doing.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

.@CrosstownHigh, an @XQAmerica school, is showing what’s possible when students are trusted to lead their learning. As part of the Carnegie Foundation and XQ Future of High School Network, they’re advancing real-world learning and a culture of trust.

@Getting_Smart @NEAAAT_Aerospac Students describe being heard and trusted with real responsibility in shaping their school’s direction. Worth a listen for anyone thinking about how student voice can move from aspiration to everyday practice.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

“Just do it.” That’s the advice a student offers to educators thinking about involving young people in school design.

In this @Getting_Smart podcast ft. students from @NEAAAT_Aerospac, part of our Future of High School Network, that idea carries weight.

From internships to launching ventures, students at @XQAmerica’s @PurduePolyHSturn learning into action. Through real-world experiences and a partnership with Purdue University, they graduate with in-demand skills, direction, and purpose.

@semafor As economic and technological shifts continue to reshape opportunity, conversations like this offer a chance to consider how education systems can better align with the world students are entering.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

On April 15, @CarnegieFdn President Timothy Knowles will join global leaders at the @semafor World Economy Summit 2026!

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

@asugsvsummit The conversation will look closely at how alignment across instruction and assessment can support more durable outcomes. It will also consider the conditions educators need to sustain this work over time.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

At @asugsvsummit, Carnegie's Brooke Stafford-Brizard will moderate a panel with Dr. Miatheresa Pate, Kelly Butler, Nick Gaehde, and Rebecca Kockler, exploring why literacy gains so often fade and what we can do differently.
