PRINCIPAL’S
WELCOME
Welcome to Alan Rowe College Prep, where excellence is not just a goal—it is the standard that guides everything we do. It is an incredible honor to serve as the Principal of Alan Rowe College Prep. As both an educator and a Fortune parent, I understand the trust families place in a school each day. We believe every scholar is capable of achieving great things, and we are committed to providing the academic, social, and emotional support needed to help each child thrive.
At Alan Rowe, we uphold Fortune School’s Five Pillars and maintain high expectations for ourselves and our scholars. From our classrooms and learning environments to our daily interactions, we intentionally create a culture that communicates: you belong, you are capable, and excellence is within you.
Beginning in Transitional Kindergarten, scholars are immersed in a college-going culture that inspires curiosity, resilience, and a commitment to lifelong learning. Through rigorous instruction, meaningful experiences, and strong partnerships with families, we prepare students not only for academic success, but for lives of leadership and purpose.
Our success depends on working together. When families and educators partner, scholars achieve more. I look forward to collaborating with you as we continue building a school community where we Listen. Respect. Work Hard. and pursue excellence in all we do.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child. I am excited for all we will accomplish together.
