Senior Academy

Welcome, Senior Academy Family!

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Drew Charter School’s Senior Academy. As we embark on the journey of another school year, we do so with the full momentum of a school community that consistently achieves excellence, by every measure.

What makes Drew extraordinary is not just what we do—but how we do it. Over the years, our students, staff, and families have built a strong community of learners and leaders. We have consistently maintained the highest graduation rates, outperformed local and state averages in academics, and provided world-class experiences. Our students represent Drew on national and international stages—collaborating with the Atlanta Mayor’s Office, competing in the International Science and Engineering Fair, presenting feature films, earning accolades in the arts and athletics, and pushing the boundaries in STEAM disciplines. From winning the first State soccer championship in APS history to elevating their voices on global platforms, our students continue to embody excellence.

Our teachers present their instructional strategies at conferences across the nation, our leaders build systems that serve students with equity and innovation, and our school culture is rooted in continuous growth. Through our Counseling and Wellness office, ACCA program, Cybersecurity and Culinary Masterclasses, international travel, college visits, Senior Portfolio defenses, and an array of mentorship opportunities, we are preparing students to thrive in college, career, and community life.

This year, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to cultivating a school where learning is rigorous, inclusive, and meaningful. We strive to be more than just a school—we aim to be a community that challenges students to think deeply, act with purpose, and lead with integrity.

We invite you, our parents and families, to be our partners on this path of excellence. Your support, engagement, and belief in our mission make all the difference. Together, we will continue to nurture brilliance, celebrate achievement, and uphold the legacy of Drew as a place where greatness is not only possible - it is expected.

The 2025-2026 school year brings celebrations and continued excellence as we are celebrating 25 years of Drew (Drew25), which opened in 2000 as Atlanta’s first public charter school, and we are recognizing our 10th senior class.

I am honored to have been a part of each class, and I am honored to serve as your principal. We look forward to the incredible year ahead. Be intentional. Stay consistent.

In partnership,
