Medjhuty Ra Ato-Bakari Chase

"Mr. Chase is a compassionate, dedicated and enthusiastic learner and leader who is willing to go the extra mile to be proficient at any job/task he put his mind to accomplishing."

"I first came to know him through a homeschool cooperative when our children were younger, where his commitment to meaningful education and community was already evident. A few years later, when he became a school principal, he invited me to join his team, giving me the opportunity to experience his leadership more directly.

He is a thoughtful and principled educator who prioritizes academic excellence, the affirmation of Black culture, and the development of strong community partnerships. His leadership reflects both vision and integrity, and he is deeply committed to ensuring that students are both academically prepared and culturally affirmed."
