SPED Paraprofessional
School Year 2019-2020
Empower College Prep began in 2012 with a commitment to be a movement of teachers partnering with parents to transform the educational and life opportunities of their children; and to empower these children to transform their community, their country and their world.
In 2020, we look forward to sending our first class of students to college, expanding to serve grades K-2, and welcoming more than 800 students onto a new, $20 million campus on the I-17 just north of Camelback.
The key to our success is highly effective, highly committed teachers who love both their content and their students.
