Harmony Public Schools is a network of PreK-12 college preparatory public charter schools across Texas. For more than two decades, our schools have provided students from under-served communities the opportunity to excel in their studies in a small classroom environment focused on providing the skills they need to succeed in life. The Texas-based non-profit organization was established by a group of dedicated educators and university academicians who were passionate about the way children approached math and science. Since 2000, HPS has grown to 60+ campuses with more than 50,000 students, with a 98 percent graduation rate for seniors and a 100 percent college acceptance rate. Our mission is to prepare each student for higher education by providing a safe, caring, and collaborative atmosphere featuring a quality, student-centered educational program with a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Harmony Core Values: • Every student will learn and grow into a successful and productive citizen. • We do whatever it takes to help our students reach their goals. • Our students, parents, and staff work in harmony to create a strong community of success. • We guide our students to value integrity, show respect, and be responsible. • Every student will graduate with a strong understanding and appreciation of STEM and how it connects to the real world.

Union Academy is a public K-12 charter school founded in 2000. UA was awarded the distinction of National School of Character and NC State School of Character in 2016 and again in 2021 and will hold this honor for five years. In 2018, UA earned a NC Performance Grade of A and was also recognized as a Top 10 Workplace in the Charlotte region in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020. UA earned the Healthiest Workplace from the Charlotte Business Journal in 2020. To define what makes Union Academy an important place to so many is not an easy task. It may have been the special spirit of starting a new venture that so many experienced in the spring and summer of 2000. Or it may be the challenge of being a part of helping to make everything happen on a daily basis. Or it may be the spirit of collaboration and trust that has become ever so apparent as the school has developed. One thing is for certain, UA is a special place because it is populated by special people. One of our UA Board members put it this way, “The spirit of Union Academy is embodied in people who are willing to do whatever needs to be done.” That spirit of collaboration and selflessness together with an extraordinary emphasis on academic challenge, community service, and the development of strong character certainly defines UA.
