PHS Designated a "Promise Place"

Pacific Hills School has been designated a Promise Place by America’s Promise Alliance (APA). The APA, founded by former Secretary of State Colin Powell and his wife, Alma J. Powell, honors organizations committed to serving youth through the delineated Five Promises: Caring Adults, Safe Places, Healthy Start, Effective Education and Opportunities to Help Others. A Promise Place is a school, community center, place of worship, business, or organization that provides youth with the Alliance’s Five Promises under one roof.

America's Promise Alliance recognizes organizations that prepare young people for success in school and in life. The APA research brief, Every Child, Every Promise, found that children receiving four of the Five Promises are far more likely to be successful, twice as likely to get A’s, twice as likely to avoid violence and 40 percent more likely to volunteer. Moreover, the research showed that receiving four out of five of these basic resources has the potential to level the playing field for youth across racial and economic lines.

“If we are going to truly change outcomes for our young people, then we have got to start approaching their development in a holistic sense. This success model is embodied in Promise Places like Pacific Hills School,” said Marguerite W. Kondracke, president and CEO, America’s Promise Alliance. “By offering young people all of the services they need—under one roof—we are exponentially increasing the chances that they’ll receive the support they need, and succeed.”

America’s Promise Alliance is the nation’s largest partnership organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. Through the collective power of its partner network, it raises awareness, supports communities and engages in nonpartisan advocacy to ensure that young people receive more of the fundamental resources they need to graduate high school prepared for college, work and life. Building on the legacy of Founding Chairman General Colin Powell, the Alliance believes the success of our young people is grounded in the Five Promises—caring adults; safe places; a healthy start; an effective education; and opportunities to help others.
