Sons of Light Leadership - Fall 2014


The Sons of Light Leadership (Formerly Tindley Prep Leaders) have been selected, initiated, and trained. We look forward to what their leadership will bring to our school. The program started in 2012 with leaders who were willing to go against the grain and lead their peers. We believe that peer-to-peer leadership is the most difficult and most valuable type of leadership there is. Our young men learn to address their peers in a respectful yet powerful manner. This allows them to uphold the values, culture, and community of the Tindley Preparatory Academy.

The leaders inducted were:
Doctor Edwin Girton
Doctor Ariel Scott
Doctor Devin Archie
Doctor Reilly Conwell
Chief Armund Churchwell
Chief Josiah Poole
Chief Chad Lightbourne
Doctor Jamari Pollard
Doctor Paul Ford
Chief Gabriel Jones

The rank of Doctor identifies a 7th grade leader.
The rank of Chief identifies an 8th grade leader.

Webster Brewer - Coach for College

The Coaches for College program at Tindley Prep leads young men to excellence. We pair them with a community member that aims to change their lives for the better by providing the guidance a young man needs to be successful. Mentors spend 2 hours a month or more with their mentees and have 10 essential conversations.

Webster Brewer has been a coach for Tindley Prep for the last three years. He has helped increase the grade point average of all of his mentees and has relentlessly gone into battle with them to help them become more diligent in their school work.

We applaud the work Webster is doing with our young men and we applaud the work all of our mentors are doing with the young men of the Tindley Preparatory Academy.
