NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Head Start, the landmark federal preschool program for children from low-income families, celebrates its 60th anniversary on May 18. 

To mark the occasion, today K-12 Dive zooms in on how the program impacted the lives of three participants who attended Head Start in the 1970s — and grew up to be educators. All three credit their Head Start experiences for giving them a solid foundation for school and learning, and eventually leading them to careers in education. In a separate item, we also share with you a timeline looking back at key milestones in the six decades of Head Start.

If you have feedback or suggestions for future coverage, we’d love to hear from you. You can share our signup link with your colleagues to make sure they’re getting the newsletter, too: https://www.k12dive.com/signup/?signup_referred_by=628afe06d475ec72a306837a
