About

KIPP Austin College Prep is a school that firmly believes that in order for a student to thrive in college, they need to have strong character, strong intellectual habits, and strong academics. We are a school that knows that if we only focus on academics our students will not be as successful as they can be. In order to develop their academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits, our students engage in rigorous courses, explicitly learn intellectual habits such as independent reading, participate in service projects at our school, at other KIPP Austin schools, and in the Austin community. Finally, we explicitly teach character, promote students engaging in collaborative processes like community circles and peer mediation, and provide opportunities for our students to demonstrate KIPP Austin's values of courage, tenacity, integrity, curiosity, and community.

Lisa Rodgers

Assistant Principal of Operations

Lisa Rodgers is a graduate of Brown University where she earned a B.A. in Human Biology and Education. Upon graduating from Brown, Ms. Rodgers immediately relocated to Chicago, Illinois to participate in a one-year fellowship with Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men. As a fellow, Ms. Rodgers served as a tutor, mentor and advocate to a group of high-school freshman students. This transformational experience reaffirmed Ms. Rodgers’ passion for educational equality and prepared her for the role of Teaching Fellow, which she served in her first year at KIPP before becoming the 6th grade science teacher, and special education coordinator. This year, Ms. Rodgers is the Assistant Principal of Operations. She is excited to be a part of a learning community where every single person is fully committed to the mission of getting our students to and through college. When not at school, Ms. Rodgers enjoys running (slowly) in half marathons, spinning, cooking, practicing hot yoga and visiting her family and friends in her home country, The Bahamas.
