Expansion of Community Hubs

Schools are more than just places of learning—they are vital community centers that provide essential resources to families. Under Michelle Quattlebaum’s leadership, DPS expanded Community Hubs, ensuring that students and their families have access to food pantries, job training, healthcare services, and housing assistance. These hubs provide a lifeline for families in need, offering wraparound services that address the economic and social challenges that impact student success. By expanding the role of schools as community anchors, DPS is helping to break down barriers that prevent students from thriving. Michelle’s vision for public education is one where schools serve as centers of opportunity—not just for students, but for entire families.
