NCCEP

The District Leadership Institute is changing the way GEAR UP leaders show up for their communities. 🎓

Rudy Ramirez has lived this mission from both sides. As a seventh grader in San Benito, Texas, GEAR UP changed everything. Now, as principal of Riverside Middle School, he’s making sure it does the same for his students.

DLI helped him refocus, re-energize, and lead with even greater urgency.

Applications are now open for the 2026 NCCEP District Leadership Institute. 🔗 Link in bio!

Don’t miss your chance to join a cohort of education leaders committed to making a real difference for their students and communities.
