Scott Middle School
April 27, 2026
Dr. Wayne Wallace has more than thirty years of experience in education across urban, rural, and suburban settings, including roles as a teacher in The School District of Philadelphia and at Gordon and Scott Middle Schools; as an assistant principal at South Brandywine, 9-10 Building, and CASH; as a principal at East Fallowfield Elementary; and as a college administrator. He holds degrees from West Chester University and Immaculata University, including a Doctorate in Education.
He was involved in a 21st-Century After-School Program at Gordon Middle School, Beyond the Bell, which received national recognition for its innovative academic and social-emotional supports for students. The program was selected from schools nationwide to be filmed. During the production phase, cameras and bright lights filled the room as students’ and teachers’ faces were carefully retouched for filming.
As the Interim Director of Minority Affairs at West Chester University, he developed an innovative program in partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles to enhance engagement among diverse student communities.
As the assistant principal at the high school, he founded the Latino Club, which fostered academic and cultural empowerment. During Hispanic Heritage Month, students performed traditional Puerto Rican and Mexican dances—Salsa, Merengue, and La Bamba—and concluded the celebration with a community fiesta for students and their families. He also organized a Vocational-Technical Career Fair during American Education Week and coordinated after-school programs that improved students’ PSSA scores.
Dr. Wallace’s commitment to the community is evident in his family. All three of his children graduated from the Coatesville Area School District. His daughter, Nashira, is a Howard University School of Nursing graduate, a registered nurse, and a licensed real estate agent. His son, Kareef, a West Chester University graduate, owns and manages Compete Sports Performance (athletic and fitness training) in West Chester. His youngest son, Armahn, is a Hallmark Institute of Photography graduate and a professional photographer. Dr. Wallace and his family are “Coatesville Proud.”
Donated gently used or new clothes would be greatly appreciated by the nurse.
If your student needs medication in school, please have their doctor complete the medication form and have an adult bring the medication to the school nurse.
