Lea School Signing Celebration

April 8, 2022

In a spirited event at the auditorium of the Henry C. Lea Elementary School, Interim President Wendell Pritchett joined officials from Lea, the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Graduate School of Education, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, and the School District of Philadelphia to celebrate the formalization of Penn’s deepened commitment to supporting the West Philadelphia K-8 school. The $4.1 million agreement—announced in late January—expands on Penn’s partnership with Lea School, which dates back more than a half-century. It will provide broad support for the school’s key initiatives over the next five years.
