At E.L. Haynes, we believe that it is the birthright of every child to receive an education that challenges the mind, engages the spirit, and prepares for productive citizenship. With your support, we can make this happen — every day, for every student. Below are a few more reasons why you should support E.L. Haynes:

• We Get Results. We are gaining local, national, and international attention for driving student achievement results among our diverse student body. We know that every child can succeed and we are proving it.

• We Go the Distance. To guarantee that we have outstanding teachers for our students, we have invested in and created our own teaching fellows program. In addition, we are closing the achievement gap by providing 1000 hours of extensive supplemental programs, which are led by our own specially-trained staff. Lastly, we operate on a year-round schedule to eliminate summer learning loss.

• We Will Make a Difference Beyond our Walls. Our brand new facility will be a center of the Petworth/Park View community, where children from the neighborhood can enjoy the facility by attending book readings in our library, playing basketball in our gym, or through a variety of other programs. This new facility will become a center for educational leadership, where instructional leadership teams can gather and where we can work together to share and disseminate best practices.
