On Track Academy was recently recognized as 2024 Northeast Community Center ZONE Partner of the Year!
The ZONE, an initiative to support the wrap around needs of students in Northeast Spokane by Spokane Public Schools and the City of Spokane at the Northeast Community Center, partners with SPS to provide before- and after-school and summer learning opportunities, among other supports for students and families. This year the Legislature designated The ZONE as a Youth Wellness Zone.
The ZONE partnered with On Track Academy to create Wellness Plus classes where students are conversations about what wellness means to youth, what it looks like in our neighborhoods, and actions community can take to support youth mental health and wellness.
These OTA student leaders have presented to the Senate Human Services committee in Olympia, presented a Youth Wellness Showcase at City Hall attended by School Board Directors and other elected officials including Mayor Brown, and presented at the 2025 End The Violence Conference in Spokane.
The community is invited to hear from these students at OTA Winter Showcase, March 13, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., where students share progress on what they have been learning and exploring this year.
Congratulations to the OTA community for your award, and thank you to the ZONE for supporting our students’ learning and wellness!
