At EHTP, we envision a world where all young people access an unconditionally supportive education that offers them the freedom to embrace—and build on—their inherent power as learners.

At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organization-wide commitment to anti-racism work, we prepare our scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive in the world around them.
