We work with educators, researchers, technology leaders, and communities to design, investigate, and scale innovations that support learners, especially those who have been historically and systematically excluded.  \nOur mission is to shape the future of learning and advance equitable education systems by bringing together solutions across research, practice, and technology.  \nGuided by three Impact Goals, we are working to ensure the following by 2031:  \n1. 75% of historically and systematically excluded learners in America are learning in education systems with the knowledge and tools to create the conditions for them to succeed.  \n2. 30 million historically and systematically excluded learners have sustained and meaningful experiences of Powerful Learning, putting them on a path to postsecondary completion.  \n3. 30 million historically and systematically excluded learners are enabled to achieve postsecondary credentials that offer economic security, well-being, and agency.  \nThe Center of Learner Pathway Innovations (CLPI) at Digital Promise is a field catalyst supporting education ecosystems in transforming college and career pathways. We partner with K–12 school systems, postsecondary institutions, industry, and communities to co-create innovative Unbounded Pathways that enable the conditions and opportunities for learners to build durable skills, earn credentials of value, exercise agency, and thrive.  \nIntroduction  \nDigital Promise® | Center for Learner Pathway Innovations Reimagining High School 4  \nDigital Promise tapped into the wisdom of students to unearth the everyday challenges they face in high school and to reimagine what the high school experience could be, in support of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement for Teaching’s  high school transformation effort.  \nIn 2025, Digital Promise conducted collaborative small focus groups, eng","cbCail6iipwKOumH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail6iipwKOumH","pdf",8735239,44,"English","# Introduction\n## High School Today\n## Findings\n## Learning and Engagement\n## Curricular Relevance\n## Assessment Practices and Learning Records\n## School Organization and Systems\n## Students Reimagining High School\n## Policy Implications and Beyond\n# Appendices\n## Appendix A.
