About US

  • The Student Ignition Society was founded in 2019 by April B. (The Dean of Rebellious Educators) and Ashia R. (Head Custodian of Cahoots) to support educators within the Raising Luminaries community.
  • The Student Ignition Society was created as a Collaborator Laboratory project by members of the Raising Luminaries Luminary Braintrust
  • All members are expected to adhere to the Raising Luminaries Accountability Guidelines in group spaces and while using Raising Luminaries resources. Or misbehave accordingly. I guess it depends on the situation.
  •  Contact April with questions & feedback at April@RaisingLuminaries.com.
