About Us

Harry  Bridges,  our  namesake  and  legendary  ILWU  organizer,  famously  said,  “Few of us really believed that we could win a decent wage, a little dignity and security on the job.....let alone having a college education for the kids.”    We  view  these words as the cornerstone for the development of Harry Bridges Span School. In our working class and largely Latino community of Wilmington, social justice means providing the educational foundation to make college and career readiness a reality for all students.

Our Mission

The mission of Harry Bridges Span School (Grades K-8) is to provide a world-class education for all students by ensuring a safe, nurturing, and collaborative student-centered environment that fosters student achievement, values effort, and promotes social justice.
