Jerome Reyes

President

As a person who has lived my life always making sure everyone is heard and feels included, our core value of Belonging resonates with me the most. I find that being a part of a community is life-giving and I want everyone to have that experience, especially those who have been marginalized.

Venesa Reyes

Vice President of Operations

EXCELLENCE, our fifth core value, resonates with me because it embodies what I strive to contribute to the BA family. Each day, I make a commitment to provide exemplary service to all stakeholders, including teachers, staff, scholars, parents, and the surrounding community.

I was drawn to Butler Academy because of its dedication to ensuring that all students are given an equal opportunity to succeed through individualized instruction, multiple learning strategies, and positive feedback to help them develop successful learning approaches and confidence in their ability to succeed. As a child, school was often a struggle for me, therefore, I closely identify with giving students that extra boost to help them become productive learners.

I was drawn to Butler Academy because of the school's desire to focus on the complete well-being of its scholars. BA is not only committed to developing outstanding learners but scholars with social/emotional skills that make them strong forces for their families and our community. The core value that resonates most with me is Respect because it reminds all of us to see the good in others, to value the abilities of others, and to appreciate people for who they are and what they bring to the BA family.

Elena Ashley

Social Studies and Science

I am excited to be a member of the B.R.A.V.E. community at Butler Academy. When considering our core values, excellence resonates most with me. I am a firm believer in setting high expectations for scholars and creating an environment of support that allows them to embrace challenges, learn through failures, and ultimately, create habits of excellence that help them not just achieve, but exceed their goals.
