A DISTRICT 12 SCHOOL
Melissa De Jesus
Principal
Welcome to
P.S. 214,
Lorraine Hansberry Academy:
Where achieving starts with believing.
Mission
Our entire school will motivate students to achieve their personal best and to be kind and respectful of one another.
Vision
Our learning throughout life will lead to success for everyone.
THEORY OF ACTION
If the school provides teachers and staff with systemic learning opportunities grounded in sustaining academic rigor, and engaging learners in quality interactions, school-wide instructional practices will be enhanced. As a result, students will achieve increasingly high levels of learning.
If the students’ daily learning experiences are driven by high standards and academic rigor, supported by careful scaffolds, and structured interactions, students will learn to read, write, and think critically across all disciplines.
P.S. 214 CORE VALUES
Core Value 1
All members of the community have a right to feel safe, respected, and included
Core Value 2

Core Value 3
Everyone must work hard and take personal responsibility for the success of the entire community and accept no excuses.

Working together we can remove barriers to student learning, and achieve more than we can on our own.
