Dear Friends,

As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with a deep sense of accomplishment and optimism. Carlos Rosario School remains steadfast in our mission to provide exceptional education and workforce development training to immigrant learners, fostering an inclusive and empowering environment where every student can thrive.

Our annual report illustrates the transformative impact of our learners’ determination and our work together, including your support. It showcases the milestones we have achieved together and shares the stories of the lives we have touched through our life-changing programs. Thanks to your support, we have been able to provide a nurturing space for students from diverse backgrounds to learn, grow, and achieve their dreams.

In the face of unique challenges brought about by the pandemic, Carlos Rosario School demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Our dedicated educators and staff embraced a new school model, ensuring that our students continued to receive a quality education despite the disruptions. With your help, we swiftly transitioned to online learning platforms, equipped every student with an internet-enabled laptop, and offered additional resources to bridge the digital divide for our students.

The Carlos Rosario School model is critically important, now more than ever, and we need your continued partnership. As the District faces new economic realities, as Artificial Intelligence impacts the labor market, as digital skills for all workers become required in order to access job opportunities, we need to ensure our students are not left behind. The digital skills and language skills our learners gain at our School empower them to pursue opportunities that will put them on the path to employment and upward mobility.

As we embark on another year of excellence, we invite you to join us on this remarkable journey. Your continued support and partnership are instrumental in ensuring that we can reach even greater heights and make an enduring impact on the lives of countless students. Together, let us nurture a diverse community where everyone has the opportunity to shine. With heartfelt gratitude,

Allison R. Kokkoros, CEO
