For me, serving on the Old Redford Academy board is deeply personal. It is about me giving back to the community that made me who I am. I believe every child deserves access to a safe, supportive, and high-quality education. As a board member it is my fiduciary duty to make sure our students have the resources, opportunities, and encouragement they need to succeed. Being part of this board allows me to help strengthen not just the academy, but the future of our youth and the community we serve.
In 2022, the ORA community started on a journey to create the ORA Board Strategic Plan. The ORA Strategy House embodies the elements that our community believes are the most important for our students, families and staff.
