Hello, and welcome to a new year of school at PLA@Promise Prep. I am excited to be the new principal. With 30 years in education, I come to you with a variety of experience starting as an Indianapolis Public School Teacher, a Principal in the Catholic Schools, and for the last four years, I have worked as an assistant principal with Phalen Leadership Academies. I am looking forward to a great year.

You might have noticed a slight change in our name. We have officially chaged our name to Phalen Leadership Academies at Promise Prep, or PLA@PromisePrep, for short. The PLA schools have been a wonderful addition to the local area, and with the PLA support, our scholars have thrived. We look forward to keeping up the tradition of success.

I look forward to meeting you and your scholar(s). Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns, issues, or just to say hi. The best way to reach me is via email, amayer@phalenacademies.org, but you can call for an appointment, 317-998-4643 if you prefer in person.

Here is to a great year at PLA@PromisePrep
