School Overview

Project STAY (Supporting Teachers and Youth) is a specialized educational program operating under the umbrella of Milwaukee Public Schools. Unlike a traditional K-12 school, Project STAY functions as an alternative support initiative designed to bridge the gap between students, educators, and the broader community. Its primary mission is to provide targeted resources and interventions that help students overcome academic and social barriers, ensuring they remain on a successful trajectory toward graduation despite various personal or systemic challenges.

Located in Milwaukee, the program emphasizes a collaborative approach to education, focusing on providing individualized support for youth who may benefit from non-traditional learning environments or enhanced emotional and academic guidance. By acting as a resource hub, Project STAY works to empower teachers with the tools necessary to support diverse student needs while fostering an inclusive, stable environment for students to improve their attendance, performance, and long-term educational outcomes.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
