A team of educators from Raleigh Charter High School, East Chapel Hill High School, Enloe High School, KIPP Gaston College Prep, Teach for America and UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Education volunteered their time and talent, coming together from August 2011 to October 2011 to advise and define this school, drawing on their deep experiences and broad backgrounds to create a next generation charter school. Led by Pamela Blizzard, the founder of the CSC and Raleigh Charter High School, and Eric Grunden, CSC co-founder and the science department chair at Raleigh Charter High School, this "Charter 2.0" next-generation school is intended to use the strength of other NC charters, including their autonomy which allows flexibility for innovation, and share their experiences with public schools across the state.
