Great leaders never stop learning. @YMLA_Florence is proud to participate in the @RCAExperience, collaborating with educators from across the country and gaining new insights to strengthen teaching, culture, and student achievement. The future is bright for our Gladiators.
Today, we watched young men who have been challenged, loved, and uplifted walk across the stage with pride and purpose. The joy in the room from parents & teachers said it all: these young men are becoming exactly who they were called to be.
And this is only the beginning. ⚔️
If you could’ve seen the smiles on the faces of our Gladiator Band parents tonight, you’d understand what this was really about.
Every note represented growth, commitment, and young men rising to the occasion. Proud is an understatement. Tonight, our Gladiators shined. ⚔️🎶
Career Day was not just about careers. It was about exposure, confidence, and possibility. Our young men heard from professionals who challenged them to dream big, work hard, and see themselves as future leaders. @RubyGarzaDISD@Region1DISD
Career Day at YMLA was bigger than ever.
Our Gladiators connected with professionals in technology, law enforcement, communications, and operations support.
More importantly, they saw professionals who looked them in the eye and told them “You belong in these spaces too.”
🚨 STOP SCROLLING. DALLAS, THIS ONE IS OURS. 🚨
Ms. Preyan is transforming lives at YMLA every single day. Not just a quarterfinalist…the standard.

Future musicians were watching.
Future leaders were listening. @RubyGarzaDISD
Principal Resident Dominguez came large and in charge at Coffee With the Principal.
Parents experienced a live Carnegie Math lesson, seeing the how and why behind our instruction.
Just clear instruction, strong facilitation, and families fully in the loop.

Locked in a 9/10 difficulty escape room with a countdown clock (silently judging us) and no room for panic.
We found the clues, cracked the codes, and kept our sense of humor the whole way.

Turns out teamwork really is the master key.

Region 1 Leaders rocked it like Grease Lightening at today’s holiday luncheon, taking home the 🏆 for the regional roll call.
YMLA turned into a holiday command center today as we delivered nearly 300 turkeys to Pleasant Grove families.
Huge thanks to Rep. Linda Garcia and Trustee Prisma Garcia for making it possible. @RubyGarzaDISD@LauraRubioGarza@Gray_Ed7
Did you know that Principal Cassell Gray of the Young Men’s Leadership Academy at Fred F. Florence Middle School once performed on The Ellen Show as the drum major for Clark Atlanta University? He was even featured on a Drumline movie cover!
