About Sports Leadership Arts Management North Charter
It is with great honour that I welcome you to Sports Leadership and Management in North Miami Beach. The acronym SLAM is one that is dear to my heart. I started my path to becoming an administrator by serving as a teacher and the athletic director of Mater Academy Middle/High Charter School in Hialeah Gardens for 12 years. As part of the faculty and school development team since it's inaugural year, I was able to assist and observe in the progression from 300 to almost 3000 students. It was at Mater Academy where my core values were instilled:
- Virtue
- Character
- Educational Excellence
- Hard Work
- Determination
- Diversity
At SLAM! North, each student has the option to select an academy that they are interested in: Sports Medicine, Digital Television & Sports Media Production, Sports Marketing, and Entertainment & Management. SLAM’s unique approach to educating our students infuses sports into the lessons.
The “SLAMified” lesson broadens a student’s understanding of the material and creates a connection to the subject matter. SLAM’s extensive sports and extracurricular activities provide physical and social avenues to match a wide range of student interests. Combining those efforts, we expect our students to achieve a rewarding educational experience and continue their studies beyond SLAM! North. The focus of our experience is to have our students ask “When and where do I want to go to college?”
