Rocketship DC Hosts National Leaders to Drive Educational Equity

Zakiya Sackor, Interim Executive Director, Rocketship DC

At Rocketship DC, we believe that collaboration and shared learning are essential to driving transformational impact for our students and families. That’s why we are honored to partner with leaders from across the country to advance educational equity and bring national best practices to our three DC schools.

Most recently, Rocketship Infinity Community Prep proudly hosted the Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows—a prestigious network of senior-level policymakers dedicated to strengthening education outcomes nationwide. During their time with us, more than 40 Fellows, including former governors, state superintendents, and other top elected officials, observed classroom instruction, engaged with our staff and families, and discussed strategies to close opportunity gaps and promote equity in education.

Notable visitors this year included:

– Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony

– Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson

– Senator Dinah Sykes

– Attorney General Dave Yost

– Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler

We are grateful to all of our distinguished guests for their commitment to learning and leading in service of all students. Their visit is a testament to the impactful work happening at Rocketship DC every day—and a reminder that together, we can achieve more for our communities.
