O Ambassador Program

As participants in this joint venture between Oprah’s Angel Network and Free the Children, students organize fundraising and awareness-raising events, working toward UN Millennium Development Goals regarding poverty,
education, health and sustainable development in East Africa. In the process, they share ideas, learn to take action and develop leadership skills, engaging as citizens of their local and global community. For more information, please visit www.oambassadors.org.

Highline Academy College Preparatory
Collaboration Project

Through a community partnership with Denver University’s Morgridge College of Education, this outstanding initiative provides access to higher education for high-achieving underrepresented students. Highline Academy students spend a week preparing for a visit to DU by talking about college, how long it takes to earn degrees and why it is important to go. The trip concludes with a dinner for students and their parents.

Dr. Richard Steckel

In 1998, Dr. Richard Steckel, an international consultant and non-profit speaker, in an effort to increase global understanding and respect, began photographing children around the world, capturing the first tooth or first day of school—the milestones that every child shares. With this, the stunning and heartwarming Milestones Project was born. Highline Academy is fortunate to have had Dr. Steckel photograph our own students at the Spring 2007 Fundraiser.
