Prep Scholar Gabriel Jones with the National Championship Trophy

We have a football star at Prep!  Gabriel Jones (8^th grade) plays starting center and defensive lineman for the G3 Rising Stars, an Indianapolis based youth team which is part of the National 13 youth football league.  This past weekend the G3 Rising Stars became the first inner city team from the Midwest to win the National Championship when they shutout the North Texans 14-0. Look for the upcoming profile of the team on the NFL’s website.  Congratulations Gabriel! 

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.
