Where Roots Take Hold
and Futures Grow
A new 6-12 free public charter school in Spokane
“In nature, a cedar grove is more than a collection of trees. Cedars grow slowly and steadily, developing deep roots that allow them to endure, adapt, and withstand storms. Each tree stands strong on its own, yet its greatest strength comes from growing together. Cedar Grove Schools is built on the same idea - a place where every student develops strong roots in knowledge, identity, relationships, and purpose.”
