Our Community School
We're proud that Stella High Charter Academy is a state-recognized Community School!
A community school embraces a “whole-child” approach. It's a place where academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement are an integral part of our school.
Together with our students, families, educators, and community partners, we tailor our support to meet the needs of our students, families, and community.
