Scholar Voices
Being a scholar at Rainier Valley Leadership Academy is important to me because it’s the community I live in. I’m excited to partner with you to make RVLA a better place for people. Rainier Valley Leadership Academy has impacted my growth as a scholar by teaching me how to be myself. We have this mentor group and every morning we make a circle and share our feelings and how we are doing. Being a scholar at RVLA is important to me because I got friends and I got teachers that care about me and support me. |
Schedule a TourWe are an anti-racist collaborative community of critical thinkers focused on dismantling systemic oppression through scholar leadership.

From Mr. Najee Ladd-Ali: This should’ve been done sooner . I want to give a special shout-out to the CEO/Principal Baionne Coleman @baionne/mentor and assistant principal Tynishia Williams @tynishiaw of South Seattle’s first community owned charter school @myrvla. Been a blessing to teach in the community I grew up in. Having my back getting me through tough times , and receiving my Masters in Education. Sports and Education has always been a huge part of my life and an outlet. Going on my 6th year In education moving from IA to teaching. Many lessons have been learned within my third year as a PE Teacher. Education is a powerful tool and decolonization within education is more important now more then ever. (curriculum, behavior , school structure, behavior intervention, special Ed, AP courses etc). Being a black male in education is another important factor for young black boys to know and identify with someone who looks like them in and out of the classroom. God places you where you are for a reason in life so embrace the steps, grow, and have humanity. Stay blessed and be wholehearted . #greatful #godisgood #southseattle #flyabove #blackmale #blackfather
