Our Superintendent

Texans Can Academies is first and foremost about Hope. Every day, we see what reignited Hope can do for a child’s life. We see the need, and the promise. Our students have struggled—some of them for years—in traditional school settings, and they began to believe that school, and all it can bring, wasn’t for them.

Texans Can is designed to be a Hope-stoking community. We are intentional about our flexible four-hour schedules, our small class sizes, our teachers’ and student advocates’ ability to know their students personally, our community partnerships that connect students with food, clothes, or even counseling if they need it, and our expanding pathways to college and careers. Our staff, our teachers, and our mentors are ready to have conversations with students where new, life-changing ideas meet our students, sparking and fanning new desires.
