NATIONAL NETWORK OF CONSTITUENT ORGANIZATIONS
With support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the HS Alliance has been given the unique opportunity to create the National Network of Constituent Organizations (NNCO), which will bring together major national constituent organizations to create an active learning network to support high school redesign. The goals of the NNCO are:

  • Align and leverage the resources and strategies of national organizations working to support systemic high school redesign in the National Governors Association Honor States program;
  • Leverage the networks of the NNCO, the HS Alliance, and other national constituent organizations to transfer knowledge fromt the Honor States to other states.
