Developing Students Who Are College Bound, Career Ready, & Community Engaged

The impact of this ambitious project will be felt throughout our entire Milwaukee community as we prepare the next generation of students for a life of choice and opportunity

— Aaron Lippman, Carmen CEO

As someone who grew up on the south side of Milwaukee and now works at Carmen, it’s incredibly exciting to see a new high school rising right in my own community. This is more than just a new building, it’s a bold step forward, built on the strong foundation of the Carmen legacy of academic excellence, equity, and community. I’m proud to witness and be part of this expansion that will impact generations of students right here at home. Together, we’re creating a future where every student can thrive.

— Eric Sancen, Assistant Director-HR

I’ve been nothing but grateful to work for Carmen during this time. The choices we have made at Carmen are informed by parents, students and teachers, and I felt heard in the process.

— Ashley Knight, Dean of Curriculum and Instruction

Carmen prepared me for a future that I didn’t see for myself and I hope to make that possibility visible for my students. I am lucky to witness remarkable potential from my students each and every day and it is because of them that I continue my path as an educator at Carmen.

— Elli Gil, Dean of Curriculum and Instruction

I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have this job. It is a privilege to serve our families and support our teachers in executing Carmen's mission.
