Our Staff
Administration
Reading, writing and arithmetic. These fundamentals and more are included within the core competencies instilled in every student at East Shore Leadership Academy. Delivery of a strong academic foundation is at the heart of our school and others.
What sets us apart is our culture of empowering students to become leaders of tomorrow, today.
During these impressionable years, it is important for children to develop a sense of confidence, purpose and integrity. Our administration team ensures that this distinction is understood and implemented throughout the East Shore family, including our staff, students and their families.
Leadership is what we’re all about.
Deanna Hall | Principal
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for considering East Shore Leadership Academy as your child’s school. Here at East Shore, we strive for high academic standards and character development. We create a positive learning environment for the students in order to achieve academic success. Every student has an Individual Data Portfolio which assists the teacher in creating lessons to ensure the students will be challenge and engaged.
Parental support is one key to our students success so we offer a Parent Portal so the parents can monitor their students grades at any time. All teachers will have contact with our families in order to ensure our student’s academic and character development.
