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.

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

Grateful for a full day in New York with @CollegeBoard, @ExcelinEd and state teams from across the country, working through how we recruit, prepare and support the teachers who make career-connected learning possible for students.

Through RAZ-32, three rural districts in East Central Indiana share instructors, facilities, and career pathways across district lines, so that a student's access to precision machining or health science no longer depends on the size of their high school.

For a century, GPAs were built to sort students, not to show what they can do. We're so thrilled that three systems in our Future of High School Network are rewriting that record: @CalAreaSD, @GRPublicSchools, and @PiperUSD203. Read on and share: https://t.co/lxBhgbBI1i

What if we ranked colleges by opportunity instead of prestige? The result is 478 institutions of every size, type and region that pair high access with competitive earnings. Read our full take on why Opportunity Colleges and Universities (OCU) matter: https://t.co/y0C75eIGeE

@univwestalabama is the latest in our Opportunity Colleges and Universities Profile Series with @ACEducation — proof that broad access and strong outcomes can coexist, even in one of the country's most economically isolated regions. Read the profile: https://t.co/77Gk2JDbs8

At @LIBERTYSCHOOLS, big change started small. On the @Getting_Smart podcast, hear how this Future of High School Network member built a 100-student microschool to test competency-based learning before scaling districtwide: https://t.co/UOi2LSCSKX

Proud to see RAZ-32 — a member of our Future of High School Network with XQ Institute — featured in @The74! Through their work, rural Indiana districts are sharing classes and instructors so students can reach even more career pathways: https://t.co/QJZCuyMym1

Piper USD 203 rebuilt its system from the ground up: six career academies, career-connected pathways from ninth grade, and 211 seniors in real Kansas City workplaces this academic year.

Proud to have Piper in the Carnegie and XQ FHS Network.

Carnegie and @ACEducation just released a new tool that reveals how each institution's Student Access and Earnings Classification is determined. Rooted in transparency and shared learning, it's now live on every SAEC page. Explore the data: https://t.co/EPsYAygYfY

Today, we're revisiting a Q&A with Dr. Laura Jacob of @CalAreaSD and @greggbehr of the Grable Foundation on sustaining change in a school system — and what happens when we measure students by their promise, not their grades: https://t.co/aCGQGQ6BbY

[Carnegie Foundation @CarnegieFdn]

How do schools make durable skills part of everyday learning? Carnegie and XQ's Future of High School Network members @CCSchoolsRe1, @libertyschools, and @NCSD97 are doing it through capstones, credentials, and more. Read how: https://t.co/UmF9gtRfBc

At @LIBERTYSCHOOLS, ~75% of grads enroll in college and many earn an associate's degree before graduating.

Students leave with a portfolio of learning after building a credentialing wallet through internships and industry-recognized credentials valued by colleges and employers.

This week, Carnegie's Dr. Tinkhani White joined Eastern Hancock Schools (@CSC_EH), a member of the Carnegie & @XQAmerica Future of High School Network, at #JoyJam2026 to explore how joy fuels school culture and student-centered learning.

28% of Indiana’s schools are rural, yet student career pathways are often overlooked. RAZ-32, part of the Carnegie and XQ Future of High School Network, is connecting instructors and employers to help change that.

In Indiana, @Concord_Schools has made Understanding by Design the district's operating system by bringing durable skills and real employer challenges into classrooms.

When learning connects to the real world, students leave with a diploma that opens doors.
