Mooresville Graded School District (MGSD) is one of 24 systems selected to participate in the Future of High School Network, a new national initiative led by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
The Network brings together innovative systems from across the country to catalyze learning, knowledge and progress to support a “new architecture” for high school nationwide.
The Network is built around a shared vision: high schools should be places where students gain meaningful skills, engage deeply in their learning, and graduate ready to thrive in a changing world.
Through this partnership, MGSD will explore and elevate new models rooted in competency-based education and improved tools to measure and support student growth.
“The Mooresville Graded School District is honored to be one of just 24 school systems nationwide selected for the Carnegie Foundation’s Future of High School Network,” said MGSD Superintendent Jason Gardner. “This partnership represents a pivotal opportunity to collaboratively shape the future of education, ensuring our high schools are not only relevant but truly empowering for every student in today’s rapidly changing world.”
As part of the Network, MGSD will also contribute to the Carnegie Foundation’s upcoming National Research and Development Agenda—a comprehensive roadmap outlining research and development priorities that support high-quality high school transformation across the country. Insights from network members will help identify the conditions necessary for innovation to take root, sustain, and scale.
“The Carnegie Unit has become the bedrock currency of the educational economy, defining almost all aspects of schooling and systematically conflating time and learning,” said Timothy Knowles, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. “The insights and partnerships generated by the extraordinary members of this network—in parallel with the priorities outlined in our forthcoming National Research and Development Agenda—will support knowledge building to enable innovation to flourish in high schools everywhere.”
