Institute for Educational Leadership, National High School Alliance

The National High School Alliance (HS Alliance) is a partnership of organizations that share a vision for fostering high achievement, closing the achievement gap, and promoting civic and personal growth among all youth in our high schools and communities. To advance this vision, the HS Alliance mobilizes the resources, knowledge, and capacity of individuals and organizations to work collectively in shaping policy, practice, and research, and to promote public awareness and engagement. The HS Alliance is supported by funds from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Since it was established in 2002, the HS Alliance has been housed at the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) in Washington, DC. IEL is a non-partisan, non-profit organization whose mission is to build the capacity of individuals and organizations in education and related fields to work together within and across systems for the purpose of better futures for all children and youth.
