K12 Voices

Join the Chorus of K12 Voices

At K12 and the schools we serve, every student, family, and educator has a story—one that could spark hope, open doors, and remind others that they’re not alone in their search for the right educational path.
 
Do you know someone whose K12 experience should be heard? A student breaking barriers, a family overcoming challenges, a teacher making an extraordinary impact?

Sing someone’s praises!

Through K12 Voices, we hope to celebrate all the ways online learning empowers student success. By sharing a story, you’re helping others see possibilities within themselves that a supportive online learning community can unlock!

On the Rise

Is there a student or educator who’s chasing big goals and putting in the work to get there? Maybe it’s an athlete training hard, a student launching their first project, or a teacher helping others grow with intention. Tell us how they’re rising to the occasion and making meaningful progress. Their momentum could inspire someone else to keep going!

Impact in Action

Change starts small but can grow quickly with the right leadership. Whether it’s a student creating positive change in their community, or a teacher going above and beyond to connect and care, we want to hear about it.

Challenges & Comebacks

These comeback stories matter. Share how they grew, adapted, and showed strength when it wasn’t easy. Their journey could remind others that setbacks don’t define the story—perseverance does.
