ABOUT LEAD

We Care for the WHOLE Student

In addition to rigorous academics, we strive to create a relationship and opportunity-driven environment for all students.

With small class sizes and intentional wrap-around services, we care for the whole student and work to ensure all students can learn in an environment where they feel safe and welcome.

During senior year, each student receives individual guidance tailored to specific needs and interests to ensure they can make a post-secondary decision that is best for them.

NEW STUDENTS
LEAD Southeast Middle | Teacher

Kelly Carden

“Students will struggle to feel successful in environments they don’t feel seen or can’t see themselves in. We ensure students are seen and celebrated so they know they’re valued and are part of our pack. It’s also important to lift up our students’ identities so we can create leaders that show representation for future generations.”

LEAD Academy | Student

Muslih Berema

“The LEAD system is to prepare you for college and prepare you for life. I've had staff members that have helped me set goals for myself. We talk about things that actually actively prepare you for where you want to go.”

LEAD Cameron | Teacher

Amy Nystrand

“I love Crew because it’s an opportunity to teach students about what’s happening in their brains and bodies when their feelings get too big and how to manage them in healthy ways.”

LEAD Neely’s Bend | Student

Devin Phillips

“I appreciate how much the adults at Neely’s Bend want us to succeed beyond middle school. So many people have worked together to help me plan my future!”

LEAD Southeast High | Parent & Employee

Dyetra Olige

“I knew from my first day of work that I wanted to send my daughter here for middle school. I love the sense of community she experiences here. The faculty is very intentional about creating and maintaining a safe and fun environment to learn. Her teachers acknowledge her extraordinary academic abilities and create challenging curriculum to keep her engaged."

LEAD Southeast Middle | Teacher

Rachel Bergin

“My students have taught me SO much about the world through their diverse experiences, and they do it with smiles, quirks, and endless curiosity that inspires me.”

LEAD Academy | Teacher

Alice Pieschel

“My biggest hope for my students is that they feel safe and empowered in this country. I want them to find their voices and be able to advocate for themselves and their communities. Most of all I just want them to lead lives that are filled with joy, curiosity, and passion.”

LEAD Neely’s Bend | Teacher

Bridgett Orgain

“The best part of my job is when a student reaches a milestone that they did not originally think was attainable. Most of the students I see do not come in feeling confident about their abilities, and it is a genuine joy to build them up to where they know they can do it.”

LEAD Cameron | Teacher

Tabitha Thorman

“LEAD is special because it truly encompasses ALL students doing great things. There are special programs to help students from different backgrounds feel successful. Cultures are recognized and celebrated. There is a system in place here at Cameron that feels like a family.”

LEAD Southeast High | School Counselor

Allie Kim

“I love building meaningful and lasting relationships with our students. Being able to see students every school day throughout their four years here is an incredible experience. I get to witness their growth, support them in their times of need, and celebrate their successes.”

LEAD Cameron | Teacher

Andre Mayberry

“I love when a student is able to interpret something difficult and precisely explain their answer back. This may include unpacking figurative language, recognizing literary devices independently, or finding the ‘Easter eggs’ from the author in a novel. It’s what makes literature fun!”

LEAD Southeast High | Instructional Manager

Jessica Simmons

“Our families make LEAD Southeast High unique! Our community is linguistically, culturally, and racially diverse, and our students and families are welcoming and open to learn from each other.”

A success story

our impact
Our Students are READY, GROWING, and EXCEEDING their Peers.

Students of color, economically disadvantaged, and limited English proficiency students are not left behind at LEAD. In fact, they succeed at higher rates than their state and local district peers. A majority of our students come to LEAD 2-3 years behind grade level. We work to help them grow year over year and catch up academically.
