This is a sign of accomplishment for each of the students, as well as a great success for the founder of this school, Mr. Tim King. Not just lip service, not just a display of a one day event that generates a simple photo op and ends in a return to the status quo, but real and true paradigm shifting that will equate to a rise of a tide. My hat’s off to Mr. King and the students and staff that carried a common vision to fruition.

Absolutely! We often hear there are no positive African American male role models for our young. I totally disagree with that statement. The ability to powerfully impact these young men’s lives by surrounding them with other young men who have a desire to tap into their unlimited potential is an awesome concept. Through the leadership and educational guidance provided by men who look like them, came from similar backgrounds and have faced the same societal challenges they may currently be facing could make all the difference in whether or not these young men are raised to be successful men.

Englewood”s Urban Prep Academy should be a blueprint in the formation of other schools of this nature.

Thanks for sharing this information with us.
