"Endings are almost always a little sad, even when there is something to look forward to on the other side.”
-Emily Griffin

Don't worry! There's so much more to look forward to! With an amazing end to our 2025-2026 school year, please enjoy these closing statements from THEE Executive Director of Achieve Academy, Ms. Thomas, MSW.

"That's all, folks!" -Porky Pig, Looney Tunes

The final edition of The Phoenix Gazette is out, featuring statements from our very own Executive Director, as well as our two Students of the Year!

This has been an amazing journey. Thank you to our students, staff, families, stakeholders, and supporting members of the community; the time, love, and effort you pour in to our program and our scholars does not go unnoticed!
Stay tuned for all of the greatness has in store!

Achieve Takes the Field

The sun was out, the competition was high, and the energy was AMAZING!

Our Achievers had a blast on our very first Field Day!

From tug-of-war, to walking tacos, to lunchroom dance parties? The entire day was packed with smiles from start to finish!

Swipe to see some of our silliest moments!
Stay tuned for the recap video!

Step by step, our teachers take time to reach the whole child! It isn't an easy task by any means, but it is so necessary!

To all of the amazing educators, THANK YOU! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Continue to spread love, joy, and curiosity!

Our amazing principal, Ms. Daja Thomas, does exactly that.

Ms. Thomas pours love and encouragement into each and every BODY in the school, not just staff. She upholds our AADC family to the highest standards imaginable. She guides us on the follow through. She checks-in on goals and progress.

She continually showcases her leadership skills and pivots when an obstacle arises!

We are in awe, we are grateful, and we love you!

Happy Principal’s Day!
