Our Board
Dear Friends,
In the fall of 2010, I recruited our very first STEM Prep student. Since then, over 1,000 families have sought enrollment at STEM Prep, raising the bar for excellence, year-over-year outperforming peers in Tennessee. The best teachers from around the country have made Nashville home to serve our very special, diverse population, and our students can tell you not only of their teachers’ love and dedication, but also of their steadfast commitment to graduating every child from college. In short, the journey of our children and families is nothing short of breathtaking. As we continue, we strive to build an exceptional community of mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, neighbors and strangers—together aspiring to a greater future through the transformative moments of now.
All my best,
Kristin
