Dear Trix Academy Families,

I want to take the time to welcome each and every family to an incredible and exhilarating new year! I am eagerly anticipating the return of our scholars, and we are overjoyed that you have chosen to become a valued member of our exceptional family. The forthcoming school year fills me with excitement as well, and I can’t wait to witness the Trix scholars ascend to new heights. Our aspiration is to be the premier K-8th Grade School in Detroit, setting the bar for excellence. I implore all parents to join us in our mission, to inspire and challenge each and every scholar in every aspect of their academic pursuits and personal development. Our aim is to equip our scholars with the necessary tools to thrive in high school, college, careers, and life as a whole. We envision our scholars as astute critical thinkers and catalysts for positive change in the world.

We are the Falcons!

As your Principal, I am extremely excited to embark on this thrilling educational journey alongside the scholars and families of Trix Academy. I am dedicated to crafting an extraordinary learning experience that will ignite the dreams of our scholars and propel them toward their desired futures. My unwavering passion for empowering the most vulnerable stems from my transformative educational encounters during my childhood through adulthood. I firmly believe that every child, irrespective of their background, deserves nothing less than a world-class education.

With love,

Mrs. Kionna
