Atlas Prep Supporters Attend School Board Meeting

Supporters of the proposed Atlas Preparatory Charter School in Colorado Springs attended the Harrison 2 Board of Education meeting to show support for the charter school application. The school would serve middle school and prepare students for attending college.

Zach McComsey attended the Building Excellent Schools year-long fellowship program out of Massachusetts and now is ready to start a new school in the fall of 2009. His school targets low-performing, high-risk students. McComsey spent time interning at West Denver Prep (under Building Excellent Schools alum Chris Gibbons), KIPP Sunshine Peak and Denver School of Science and Technology before selecting a rigorous educational program designed after these successful charter schools.
