Midtown Cluster Advisory Team (CAT)
Virginia-Highland Elementary School is part of the Midtown Cluster within APS. Our Cluster is made up of 7 schools – Midtown High School, Howard Middle School, Hope Hill Elementary, Mary Lin Elementary, Morningside Elementary, Springdale Park Elementary, and Virginia-Highland Elementary. The purpose of working as a cluster is to ensure consistent high quality academics and focused programming. Working together provides the ability to enhance the alignment of schools within a cluster and increase the levels of flexibility and autonomy from the district-level to the cluster and school levels.
As a part of our charter district status, the Midtown Cluster created a Cluster Advisory Team. This team of 7 parents and 7 principals (from 7 Midtown Cluster schools) is part of an APS-driven cluster planning initiative designed to create a common vision and strategic plan for the future of each cluster within APS.
