Empowered Birmingham

What if students, families and community members were the architects of education in Birmingham County? Every child – regardless of race or zip code – deserves a quality education and a fair shot at success in life. The COVID-19 pandemic not only exposed the flaws in our nation’s educational system, it made that system even worse, with underserved students bearing the brunt of this crisis. It’s time for a change – a radical shift in how we approach education – to ensure our children have the opportunity to succeed in college and career pathways and beyond. To get different results, we must do things differently. That’s why we’re supporting the community to lead the charge on reimagining the future of education in Birmingham County.
