Who We Are
Reaching Higher NH’s mission is to provide all New Hampshire children with the opportunity to prepare for college, for immediate careers, and for the challenges and opportunities of life in 21st century NH, by serving as a public education policy and community engagement resource for New Hampshire families, educators, and elected officials. We have a long-term vision of NH, in which Granite Staters share a deeply-held conviction that public education is one of our state’s most precious assets, and all our public schools are strongly supported by their surrounding communities, thriving with the benefit of committed local and state support for achieving great student outcomes. Those schools place students at the center, fully embracing personalized, competency-based education, deeper learning, meaningful college and career pathways, and high standards for all with equity in access and outcomes, and maintain the professional development and respect for educators necessary to foster rich and trusting school cultures.
