The National Honor Society induction brought me great pride as I spoke to the parents of the 28 African-American male inductees. My message to them was that their sons have disrupted the narrative placed on Black boys in public education. They made their ancestors proud! #ALLIN
Our young kings taking ownership of their learning journeys can largely be attributed to our teacher’s consistency in facilitating 1:1 student led conferences.
The mission is preparing males of color to enter 4 year colleges and universities prepared and equipped with the tools necessary for long term success. Isaiah confidently walked into my office this morning and exclaimed “I got into Morehouse.” We are proud of you young king!
EdFest is always a fun event! It’s great to be able to speak to the prospective students and their families about the most inspiring school in Washington D.C.
Parent engagement is key when it comes to disruption. Our first parent cafe of the school year was a success! The theme of this cafe was “Calm, Cool, and Connected: Building Resilience for Stress-Free parenting.”
Accepting the Educational Champion of the Year Award on behalf of @RBHSMonarchs at the @thenexxt1academy Celebration of Excellence Gala. I also had the pleasure of standing beside two of our young kings who received an award for their resilience and scholarship money.
Chancellor Ferebee awarded championship rings to the schools who have exceeded growth in testing, SEL data, and significant positive change in school culture. I am proud of the growth that our staff has worked to see manifested each day in our young kings!
Our team presented the Black Biosphere to a packed room at the National Conference for Community and Restorative Justice. The energy from the attendees was amazing and new connections in this heart work were made. #NACRJ#NACRJConference#dcxq#Restorativejustice

I graduated my first full cohort as a principal this year. This group of young kings and I took a huge step out on faith in 2020 and we are all better off from it. It has truly been a journey, but we can say that we are pioneers and innovators of urban education!
Today we honored our amazing community partners with an appreciation breakfast. We would not have had the tremendous success we have experienced this school year without these dedicated partners! Thank you and we look forward to future collaborations!
Today we hosted our first CTE fair for 9th and 10th grade Young Kings!! It was great to see them excited about the endless possibilities Ron Brown has to offer!! #ALLIN#SchoolRedesign#TheBlackBiosphere
