We are grateful and proud to call this beautiful historic building home, and to pay tribute to the legacy of the school and library that came before us. We honor the history of School 26, its alum, and the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library.
We appreciate our teachers and want them to know that nothing they do is ever too small, goes unnoticed, and every effort has a deep and lasting impact – as evidenced by the stories shared within.
We build a strong teacher community by ensuring that our faculty are known and loved, which happens when we put relationships first. This is especially important in professional development sessions.
Change is always challenging, especially when it may effect your children. Please share any questions or comments you have using the form below, or by emailing me directly at ahart@theoaksacademy.org.
I’ll respond to your inquiry directly and as quickly as I can.
