THE BRYAN ALLEN STEVENSON SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE
GET PROXIMATE. CREATE OPPORTUNITY. INSPIRE OTHERS.
ABOUT US
The Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence is named in honor of Bryan Stevenson, a prolific social justice activist and lawyer from Milton, Delaware. Mr. Stevenson often talks about the notion of proximity in his work.
“Proximity is a pathway through which we learn the kind of things we need to know to make healthier communities.”
By “getting proximate,” or closer, to the needs of the community, we can see the problems for what they are and create sustainable solutions. We know the path to a strong and healthy community is complex and requires deep collaboration at every point.
OUR COMMUNITY
“Knowing what I know about the people who have come before me, and the people who came before them, and what they had to do, it changes my capacity to stay engaged, to stay productive.”
Bryan A. Stevenson
We honor what’s come and create what’s coming.
