What an honor for us to join @WintleyPhipps and @Oprah at @US_DreamAcademy annual Power of a Dream Celebration at the Duke Ellington Theatre in Washington DC last week.

I am proud to have witnessed my niece, Tiffany Swoffard, be announced as the next head coach for Canisius! As a former college basketball athlete & coach, her accomplishment feels even sweeter knowing that she continues to build upon our family’s legacy on the hardwood!

We are excited to have added Chatt Police Dept. as a new mentoring partner. During their first session with our students, they provided insight into the department and answered all the questions our Mustangs had to include “how heavy is your vest?”
Proud of what our team, students, families and community of supporters have created at CGLA. Special thanks to @tncharters for the recognition!

Thankful to work with a group of dedicated team of faculty and staff members that put students first! They are the reason we have received multiple honors for being a TVAAS Level 5 and Reward school.
Looking forward to a great fall break!

Just before school each year, we like to take time to visit the neighborhoods where many of our students live. This year we even had the awesome opportunity to show our new faculty and staff members of both schools where CGLA first opened its doors in 2009.
