Outside of our schools, the Mastery Parent Action Team has strong collaboration with the police to make important improvements to neighborhood and school safety. Inside our schools, we believe in nurturing student through love and relationships. Swipe left to find out more about our phenomenal school culture teams and how they shape healthy school communities.
In our 20 year history, Mastery has never had police in our schools. Instead, we support our students with social workers, Assistant Principals of School Culture, and Deans who work through issues with students on a daily basis. CEO Scott Gordon said, "Our belief is that schools are to educate and nurture young people through love, relationships, and high expectations. The police role is to address crime. The two are very different."
Our students at Hardy Elementary dressed up as black political leaders for the inauguration of President of Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. On that day, we were overcome with joy to hear little girls say "My vice president looks like me." It is important for children to have role models, especially ones that they can relate to.
Black lives and Black History matter every day at Mastery! Every day is a celebration of black joy and achievement! Today, let's take a peek at some of the amazing things happening in our schools.
Melanin Monday is a weekly school-wide event where we recognize and build positive racial identity,
particularly for our Black and Latinx students. At Mastery Prep Elementary, we believe that school should be filled with transformational educational experiences that build our students' knowledge, pride, and resilience. On Melanin Mondays, our whole school participates in:
Classroom read alouds of the same text
Facilitated lessons and discussions on social justice issues.
Our uniform policy is lifted for the day so that students can wear things that speak to their identity

At mastery we provide relationships that foster the growth and development of our students and our leaders. We believe that hiring black leaders who identify with and serve as a role model for our students is beneficial to academic, personal and social advancement. Gaining knowledge and support from a fellow black educator only makes the journey even more special.
