“The Best in the U.S.A”

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers of Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy! Although today is officially Mother's Day, we must celebrate and never take our mothers for granted!

We are finishing up the planning for our Campus Improvement Plan. I am discussing and meeting with staff, parents and community members to identify areas and opportunities to better meet the needs of our campus community. We will continue focusing on improving our academics, but we are also looking at ways to hold the Brothers accountable to our Campus Creed and Core Beliefs.

We will focus on Line 6 of our Creed for the month of May. “We are successful through honesty, humility, and the pursuit of intellectual excellence.” One of my goals is to attach measurable standards to all of the lines of our Creed. How should we define what honesty, humility and the pursuit of intellectual excellence? We will start with measurable standards and they will evolve as we grow and learn together. We can't improve what we can't measure.

I enjoy speaking to parents, staff and students daily about what is working and what needs to be refined. If you would like to share any feedback, please feel free to contact me by email or phone!

This flyer has all the STAAR testing dates. If you have any questions about STAAR testing, please contact Mrs. Robinson.

The Dallas ISD Transportation department hasn't been perfect, but they have done a fantastic job getting our Brother to the campus and back home safely in a pandemic! The routes may be running late, sometimes, they may have a substitute driver, or they might have to combine routes. There is a service called the Bus Bulletin. You can register your son's route for any updates or changes to the route. As always, please call the school at 972-749-2100 to let us know if there is a problem with your route.

Any Brother who wants to come back to campus is welcome! Please contact the office (972) 749-2100 and let us know when you want to start!

We are still recruiting students for the upcoming school year. Please let any families and friends know that we have space available. They can apply online by using this link.

Enrollment is open for the upcoming school year. Please enroll if you have not already completed the process. You can also earn House points for your son! All the details are on this flyer!

Please complete this District parent survey if you have not already done so!

We have also sent our 8th grade parents a very brief intent to return to BOMLA survey. We want all the Brothers to return for their 9th grade year!

Thank you all for the support that you all provide to your sons and our staff!

I have included a link to a video of our Presidential Jazz Band below!
