West Whittier Elementary School is excited to embark on its first year of transformative work through the Community Schools model. This equity building strategy is designed to disrupt the cycle of poverty and address longstanding inequities. By identifying areas of need and leveraging community resources, the program ensures that students are healthy, academically successful, and supported in their social-emotional development.

The Community Schools model fosters collaboration with community agencies to strategically allocate resources, focusing on academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and engagement. The dedicated Community Schools staff are here to enhance student learning, strengthen families, and create healthier communities.
