Bridging Our Legacy and Our Future
KIPP DC began 25 years ago with a bold promise that every child in our city deserves access to excellent schools and real opportunity. Today, that commitment lives on across 22 schools serving 7,300 students.
As we mark this milestone, we celebrate the bridges built over the past 25 years, between classrooms and careers, families and schools, challenge and possibility.
Join us at KIPP DC’s 25th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, May 2 for an evening filled with community, celebration, and purpose. Together, we will honor the past, celebrate our present, and look ahead to a future where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Enjoy an unforgettable night of connection, dancing, and celebrating, all while making a meaningful difference in the lives of KIPP DC students.
