Our 2022 Champion


James Fogarty

Executive Director, A Plus Schools


A Plus Schools was selected based on their relentless commitment to improving the educational experience of every child in Pittsburgh. When the pandemic closed schools and isolated families, the staff at A+ Schools immediately began the work of re-engaging – with schools, families, and the broader community – to ensure that all students were receiving the highest quality education possible. Their leadership in establishing and maintaining the Pittsburgh Learning Collaborative has bettered communication and coordination among education providers, strengthened collective advocacy efforts for marginalized students, and helped students overcome inequitable barriers to their educational success. Congratulations and thank you for all you do for students!
