Dear Friends,

For more than 20 years, Alliance has remained anchored by a simple yet profound truth:

In a world where divisions can run deep, we do not choose sides; we choose our scholars.

Like me, most Alliance scholars are the first in their families to attend college. Nearly all come
from communities that have been overlooked or underestimated for far too long.
Despite the odds, they show up every day with courage and conviction.

Our job is to meet them with the same.

That’s what Alliance was built to do. To believe in our scholars, without condition or exception.
To build schools that affirm who they are, where they come from, and the brilliance they carry.
To prepare them for the future, and stand with them in shaping it.

Because we have stayed focused, our scholars continue to excel, demonstrating significant year-over-year academic growth and outpacing their peers in LAUSD, and even the state. Last spring, nearly all were accepted to college, and they will go on to graduate from college at a rate of 3.5 times the national average. Today, our 25,000 alumni are launching careers, mentoring peers, and transforming the world around them.

The road ahead will not be easy. The challenges facing public education are complex and growing, but Alliance has never been a place of comfort. We are a place of clarity, and that clarity continues to carry us forward as we reimagine how we lead, how we teach, and how we show up for the next generation.

The story you’ll find in these pages is one of action, imagination, and what becomes possible when we choose scholars, every time.

At Alliance, there’s a light ahead. And it’s never shone more brightly than now.

Thank you for believing in this work. Thank you for choosing our scholars.

Onward, always together,

Pablo Villavicencio
