Abstract: Social Justice Humanitas Academy (SJ Humanitas)--a public high school located in Southern California's San Fernando Valley--was designed and founded by teachers as a community school in 2011. Their vision, which they actualized with partners through the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Pilot School initiative, was to create a school that would "not only be a place of learning, but also a resource for the community." To do so, they designed a school that would bring together community resources, incorporate collaborative structures, and support students on their pathways to postsecondary success and self-actualization. Community schools, like SJ Humanitas, are increasingly elevated as an equity-driven, research-based approach that can address students' holistic needs. Yet there is a common misperception that community schools primarily focus on the provision of external supports rather than influencing the character of teaching and learning to enable student success. That is, many perceive them as addressing factors that surround learning rather than influencing the very practices that characterize schooling environments and classrooms. This case study addresses this misconception, illustrating how SJ Humanitas implemented a range of whole child education practices to advance outcomes and support student well-being.
