The High Hopes

"Have you ever been to a place where everyone around you is friendly and thoughtful?...Well I have been to such a place...This has been the best experience I have ever had." Matt Logan
During the past school year, Leadership Greater Hartford trained and supported 250 parents, teachers, principals, and others in the art of working together to improve education for Hartford’s students.
First Phase of Corridor of Hope Completed
Have you driven Capitol Ave between Forrest and Laurel recently? Many Hartford commuters and students travel this corridor daily. Until recently, it has been a disheartening mess. Thanks to the efforts of over 100 volunteers, including a group of enthusiastic volunteers from Ikon who came together on September 26, this stretch of Capitol Ave is becoming a Corridor of Hope.

Drive through today and one of the first things you will notice is a beautiful hope-inspiring mural painted under the leadership of local artist Carlos Hernandez Chavez. The mural’s theme is “education is the key to success.”
