The founding team moved forward with a charter application submission to UW-Milwaukee in August 2016 and defended the application before the UWM charter review committee in September 2016. The charter was unanimously approved by the review committee in September 2016, a provisional authorization, and then unanimously approved by the UW Board of Regents in February 2017 making the authorization official. The Pathways High team secured a lease of a building on Vel Phillips and Walnut in April 2017 and began the process to recruit staff and students.
