Dean's Annual Message

September 2026

Founders AcademyGreetings Founders Community,

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I am excited about the opportunities, achievements, and growth that lie ahead for our students and school community. Each new school year brings a chance to set goals, embrace new challenges, build meaningful relationships, and continue the pursuit of academic excellence and personal growth.

To our new students and families, welcome to The Founders Academy. We are honored that you have chosen to be part of our community and look forward to supporting you throughout your educational journey. We encourage you to become involved, build connections, and take advantage of the many opportunities available both inside and outside the classroom.

To our returning students and families, thank you for your continued commitment to our mission and values. As leaders within our community, I encourage you to model our Leadership Code of Conduct each day, both on campus and beyond. Our expectations are simple but meaningful: Be responsible. Be respectful. Be honest. Be determined. Be fair. Be polite. Be open-minded. Be courageous. Be confident. Be helpful. These principles guide our actions, strengthen our community, and help prepare our students to become successful citizens and leaders.

As we begin another exciting year, I look forward to celebrating the accomplishments, growth, and successes of our students. Together, we will continue to build upon the strong foundation that has made The Founders Academy a unique and thriving school community. I encourage every student to challenge themselves academically, participate in school activities, contribute positively to our community, and take pride in representing The Founders Academy. I wish each of you a successful, productive, and rewarding 2026–2027 school year.
