Rocketship Alma is OUR school, and I say that with so much pride in my heart. We've felt like a part of the Alma family since my oldest child attended kindergarten the founding year. I always hoped that my daughters would go to college. Now I know they will be successful because of the solid educational foundation built at Rocketship Alma Academy!
— Julia Alvarez, Founding Parent
