Student Programming

Community Service

Noble Street College Prep students are required to complete 40 community service hours by the end of their junior year. [3] In 2017, Noble Street students were highlighted by the Lawndale News for their community service at an urban farm in East Garfield Park.[4]

Distinguished Teacher Program

In May 2019, The Noble Network of Charter Schools announced the first 20 recipients of its newly created Distinguished Teacher program.[5] The purpose of the Distinguished Teacher program is to identify, recognize, and reward a select group of Noble teachers who have achieved exceptional results for students at Noble for at least three years and during that time have exemplified the five key questions laid out in the Distinguished Teacher framework.[6] Prior to being selected, candidates participated in a rigorous application process that began in January 2019, where they first submitted their written narratives along with a portfolio that included comprehensive data. Finalists then participated in classroom observations and debriefs, student surveys, a panel interview, and reference checks.[5][7] Among other benefits, those who are selected to be a Distinguished Teacher receive an annual bonus of $10,000, will help facilitate professional development experiences across the Noble Network as well as participate in the selection of future Distinguished Teachers. [5]

Stephanie Aeschliman, a Science teacher, was chosen to be the 2018-2019 Distinguished Teacher at Noble Street College Prep.[5]
