A MESSAGE FROM:

Aurora Central Campus

2025-2026

Aurora Central High School (ACHS*) proudly stands as the first school opened in Aurora Public Schools (APS). Since 1892, ACHS has served the north Aurora neighborhood and has grown as a hub for collaboration among students, families, educators, and community organizations. The school?s Innovation status, Community Schools model, and magnet arts pathway have positively impacted school culture to date and demonstrated strong promise for future growth in student academic performance. While the scho… ol takes great pride in the impact of these practices for the school and community, it is clear that a new partnership with an external management partner is needed at this time to build upon and further align the work with past instructional and management partnerships to ensure academic success for all students. In 2022, Aurora Central became a K-12 campus by adding a new pathway dedicated to arts integration, the Charles Burrell Visual and Performing Arts magnet or Burrell Arts. The K-8 portion of the campus is located in a separate building less than a quarter mile away from the high school. The campus currently serves kindergarten through eighth grade students totaling about 515 students. The Burrell Arts pathway includes 9th-12th grade students, making up approximately 200 students out of 1,800 total high school students. Although any student who lives in Aurora can apply to the magnet pathway, many of the students live in the neighborhood. The arts pathway provides more voice and choice in the neighborhood through this unique experience and coursework for Aurora Central students and others, while also bolstering engagement and opportunity across the school. The Aurora Central Campus is led by a principal at each building, one at Aurora Central High School and another at Charles Burrell Visual and Performing Arts K-8. Together, the leadership team is deeply committed to collaborative, intentional work to build on promising practices and enhance instructional performance and systems to empower student academic success. The goal is for the Arts to permeate throughout the entire campus.
