“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost’s iconic poem aptly describes the ultimate goal of IMPACT. In an ever-changing world we need an education system that is solution-based and future-focused. IMPACT is designed to empower IMPACT Agents to find their unique road on their education journey - one that will offer endless opportunities to make a difference.
Our amazing group of highly experienced IMPACT Guides possess the IMPACT Core Values: Determination, Compassion, Empathy, Perseverance, and Optimism. Their role is to partner with IMPACT Agents on three areas:
-
Supporting the social, emotional, and physical health of our participants;
-
Ensuring our Agents are up-to-date on their online coursework;
-
Collaborating with our Agents to facilitate their Five Pillar projects, events, activities, and outcomes; and
-
Connecting IMPACT Agents with individual community mentors and experts.
Our guides stand together with our Agents at the crossroads of their future through agency, iteration, and grit they will find their road, their destiny.

Being in the service industry taught me the management and communication skills that are crucial to my current position as a high school principal. My wife and colleagues often say I think many steps ahead of those around me. I have used my communication and people skills to bring about significant changes to my current site.
