Our Leadership Team

The Lift Up Public Schools (LUPS) Leadership Team provides strategic guidance and coordination for the organization’s work. The team is made up of the Chairs of four working groups—Local Hubs, Communications and Branding, Operations, and Volunteer Recruitment and Retention—and is supported by an Advisory Council. Together, these leaders guide the coalition’s efforts.
Our all-volunteer leadership team members are community leaders who align with LUPS values and believe in a student-centered public school education for all.
