Dear K-5 Crew,
Welcome back to the second semester! I hope your break was filled with rest, joy, and time to recharge, because now, it’s time to get to work—and I mean ALL IN.
This semester is critical. The urgency of our mission has never been greater, and the stakes have never been higher. Every lesson, every strategy, every interaction is an opportunity to change a scholar’s trajectory. The work ahead isn’t just about meeting benchmarks—it’s about shaping futures, closing gaps, and proving that Centennial Academy is home to the BEST instruction in Atlanta.
And let me be clear: I NEED YOU.
I need you to show up every single day with energy, focus, and the determination to deliver excellence. I need you to pour your heart and your expertise into every scholar who walks through our doors. I need you to believe—wholeheartedly—that together, we have what it takes to move mountains.
This isn’t just about working harder; it’s about working smarter. Lean into collaboration. Use data to guide your moves. Be intentional with your time, your lessons, and your relationships. The strength of our crew lies in our collective efficacy—when we work as one, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
This is our year to accelerate. Let’s push forward with the same fire and commitment we started with in August. Let’s make Centennial a place where scholars and educators alike rise to new heights.
As always, my door is open to any and all questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions. This is a collective effort and I'm open to all ideas! We’ve got this because we’ve got each other. Let’s finish strong and show this city what excellence looks like.
With gratitude and urgency,
Principal Hodges
