  Greetings Parents and Families of the Boys Academic Leadership Academy:
  Welcome to the 2017-18 school year! As your new school leader, it is my sincere privilege and honor to serve this great school community. I am looking forward to moving full S.T.E.A.M. ahead with you to provide the best possible educational experience for our young BALA men.
  I am committed to ensuring that all students will be equipped with the tools to build a solid foundation of academic excellence rooted in brotherhood and to uphold the BALA creed – Respect, Integrity, Courage, and Humility. BAL Academy men are RICH in character! I believe that every student is a genius that deserves a safe, caring, and inspirational environment to thrive intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially. BALA is committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and inclusion that encourages our students to be innovative and courageous with their ideas. Together, we must make a commitment to help our students to be and do their absolute best.
  Again, welcome to an exciting beginning of a new school year where excellence will be reflected in every classroom. School is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, at 7:58 a.m. The phenomenal staff of BALA and I feel honored to be a part of this school community with you. We are grateful for your support and look forward to meeting all of our families and developing an on-going partnership.
