A Letter from the CEO & Board President

The 2018-19 school year will be filled with growth and innovation. In August, we 2018-2019
Board of Directors
expanded our Elementary Program to second grade! More children, teachers, and
classrooms were essential to this transition. So, we partnered with the Salvation
Army and leased classroom space at their West Broward Boulevard and Southwest President
9th Avenue location. Our Elementary School will be housed there until our state- Pat Ramge
of-the-art building is completed in the fall of 2020.
Vice President
Exciting changes are propelling both our Elementary and Early Education programs Tony Coley
forward. We welcomed Trevor Roberts as our Director of Education this summer.
His experience as a Principal in Broward County brings fresh ideas and unique Secretary
perspective to our program. Steve Halmos

relationships at state and national levels. President Emeritus
