A Message from the Principal

At Daisy Bates Academy of Social Justice, we are committed to providing a rigorous, relevant, and socially-conscious education in a nurturing and inclusive environment. Our focus is on the relentless pursuit of academic excellence, fostering a community where high expectations are not just set but are consistently met. We integrate arts, technology, and social justice principles to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. Our diverse and dynamic community celebrates the unique strengths of each individual, while instilling in all of our students a deep sense of responsibility toward their peers and the world around them. Through engaging curriculum and hands-on experiences, we encourage curiosity, inspire leadership, and prepare our students to become change-makers who will thrive both in school and beyond. At Daisy Bates Academy, we don’t just educate—we empower students to become agents of positive change in their communities and in the world
