    • Before and after school programs have the capacity to serve all our students. Financial aid is available to cover program fees.

    Our mission is to empower student learning by teaching awareness, acceptance and non-violence, celebrating our diversity, achieving academic excellence, and fostering strong family-school-community connections. Our overall objective is to guide the development of a well-rounded human being who has the ability, skills and attitude to become a contributing asset to self, family, community, and society.

    We have an open door policy to parents, and we believe all staff and parents should be involved in the decision-making process within the school.  At Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy (HMCRA), you will be encouraged to become an active participant in your child’s educational journey.
