Hello, Families of Trix Academy,

My name is Kionna Williams (Mrs. Kionna), and I will be your new principal. I have been working hand and hand with the staff and leadership of Trix Academy for the past two years, as I was the Deputy Regional Director for PLA. This school is like home to me, and the decision to serve as the principal of this building is not one that I take lightly.

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.

Get ready to join me in this exhilarating adventure as we forge ahead, hand in hand, with our scholars, staff, families, and the entire community. Together, we will unveil the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.

As an educator, I have over 20 years of diverse experience ranging from early childhood education to 8th grade. Throughout my illustrious career, I have worn many hats, serving as a teacher, coordinator, Instructional Coach, Instructional Specialist, and most recently Deputy Regional Director of Michigan schools. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Eastern Michigan University, a Master of Business Administration in Human Resource Management from Baker College, and am currently a Doctoral Candidate in Critical Curriculum Inquiry at Wayne State University. My wealth of knowledge and expertise forms the backbone of my commitment to educational excellence.

Ms. Perkins has been a wonderful delight to work with over the past year and she has set the groundwork for a beautiful future at Trix Academy. I am stepping in and continuing the work that she has so diligently started. I am so grateful for her sincere love of the scholars and her dedication to academic excellence. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Kionna Williams

Trix Academy Principal
