2022-2023 Delta Academy Participants
Hats off to our Delta Academy Chair, Janice Coleman and her committee for a job well done. The close out ceremony for our girls was amazing. These are a talented group of girls. We appreciate them, as well as their parents for their dedication.
Most importantly, thank you Kalisha Pitts, Principal and your staff for always opening your doors and being so kind.
To our 6th graders, we wish you best as you move to Junior High. Remember all that you’ve learned about leadership, education and self-awareness. The sky is the limit.

DELTA ACADEMY
Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Women For the 21st Century The Delta Academy was created out of an urgent sense that bold action was needed to save our young females (ages 11-14) from the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. Delta Academy provides an opportunity for local Delta chapters to enrich and enhance the education that our young teens receive in public schools across the nation. Specifically, we augment their scholarship in math, science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership through service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation and maintenance of relationships. A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st Century.
