The engagement.

What Evanston Township High School District 202 was facing.

The partnership began after Dante King presented at a national conference hosted by The Privilege Institute, where he connected with Superintendent Dr. Marcus Campbell and School Board President Pat Savage-Williams. What started as a two-day experiential leadership retreat — historically rigorous and personally challenging — quickly demonstrated enough value to evolve into a district-wide partnership spanning the 2023–24 and 2024–25 school years.
