Senior Academy
The Launchpad to Leadership
The Senior Academy (Grades 9–12) experience caps a journey of seamless STEAM education and advanced literacy and culminates in real-world readiness. Our high schoolers are expert problem-solvers, rounding out their academic careers with sophisticated year-long PBLs, capstones, and presentations. Having honed their collaboration and research skills since kindergarten, they lead the school in innovation, presentation, and community impact.
Through unforgettable experiences that prepare Drew eagles to soar anywhere, as well as a rich selection of sports, student-led organizations, and experiential field trips, our students graduate fully equipped to collaborate, solve, and lead in college and beyond.
Dr. Kendrick Myers, Senior Academy Principal, waves to the crowd of cheering families during the 2026 Senior Walk.
Principal's Message, 2026-2027
Welcome, Senior Academy Family!
It is with tremendous pride and excitement that I welcome our students, families, and community partners to the 2026–2027 school year at Drew Charter School’s Senior Academy. We are excited to return better, stronger, and ready to build upon Drew’s tradition of excellence.
The 2025–2026 school year was phenomenal, thanks to the extraordinary commitment of our students, tremendous staff, and supportive families. From numerous academic and athletic accolades to meaningful experiences in the arts, STEAM, leadership, and service, Drew Charter students excelled in the classroom, on the field, and beyond the walls of Drew. Their accomplishments reflect a school community in which excellence is not accidental; it is intentionally cultivated, consistently pursued, and thoughtfully crafted.
What makes Drew extraordinary is not only what we accomplish, but how we accomplish it. Our students are challenged to think deeply, act with purpose, and lead with integrity. Our teachers provide rigorous and engaging learning experiences, our leaders build equitable and innovative systems, and our families remain essential partners in every student’s success. ...
