Christina McDonald, Principal in Residence of the Reimagine Prep. Charter School in South Jackson spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at it November 17, 2015 meeting. Ms. McDonald discussed the formation, goals and Mission of Reimagine Prep, which is located in the McDowell Road facility previously used by St. Therese Catholic School, which recently closed.
As discussed by Ms. McDonald, the goal of Reimagine Prep is to have every student fully prepared for college when they graduate. Currently, the school has a 5th grade class. They plan to add a new grade annually until all 12 levels of elementary and secondary schooling are represented. The school spends considerable effort to reading and mathematics and operates from 7:30 -4:30 daily. It also has regular contact with the parents of its students, which are termed scholars.
