MISSION


he King-Chavez name is more than an honoring of the names of great 20th century civil rights leaders. It is our commitment to serve the poor and work with institutions serving the poor. We believe that the philosophical essence of our work is to be a beacon of hope through carrying on the living work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez. Politically, our calling is to be an agent of change on forefront of American educational reform. Our task is to run excellent schools. We believe that we can transform education in our communities in our time.

Corporate Mission - The Mission of King-Chavez Public Schools is “We Seek Excellence and Equality in Education from the Foundation of Love.” We realize that the current state of public education is fundamentally failing our country’s most vulnerable people; children in poverty. We believe that the measure of a society and a generation is not in its greatest advancements but how it has served the least among them.

MARTIN LUTHER KING ON FOOD JUSTICE



Martin Luther King would want food justice. He would want nutritious whole foods to be available to all. It’s the right thing to do.
So on Martin Luther King’s Day, think about what you can do to help foster the notion of food justice. People are honoring Mr. King in many ways, from church dinners, to prayer meetings to marches.
In a small town in Texas, McAllen, which is down on the border in one of the poorest parts of the state, volunteers for the RGV food bank, have inspected, processed and packed 8,700 pounds of food to be distributed on Martin Luther King Day.
Helping others is one way to honor Dr. King. As 22 year old Kevin Cruz, said after his day of packing food for the poor, “We wanted to help out. It was the right thing to do.”
In a nation as rich as the United States, not one person should go hungry. Not one.

Martin Luther King, Jr. on Food Justice

I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr., From remarks upon acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize
