We had a terrific “Conversation with..” Bonita Lee, the new Head of The GreenMount School. Although a Baltimore native, Ms. Lee shared her experiences in education from teaching and administration in Virginia and Texas to her journey back to Baltimore.

The students were eager to learn more about Ms. Lee and her vision and experience as a Head of School, and she was interested in their lives and thoughts about their education at TCS.

The Community School and The GreenMount School have had a close relationship for many years now. We would not have a Physical Education program without Mr. Eduardo and the kind use of their gym and facilities. We have enjoyed the opportunities for our students to support their students at such events as the annual Field Day.

We are very grateful for Ms. Lee and The GreenMount School!

Thank you to the shout from The Baltimore Beat!
Read below from their latest issue where they featured their “Best (and Worst) of Baltimore 2024: For the Culture”
Best: The Kids Are Alright Award
In our current semi-apocalyptic-hellscape, finding hope and finding joy isn’t easy. Many folks have negative things to say about Baltimore (See Dietz further below) and Baltimore’s young people.
We wanted to highlight the work of five Baltimore-based youth groups and organizations, which illustrate the talent, creativity, and promise of the next generation of Baltimoreans.
If you are ever searching for moments of brightness and hope, look no further than the existence and work of Charm Lit Mag, Writers In Baltimore Schools, Wide Angle Youth Media, New Generation Scholars, and The Community School.
Having faith in humanity can leave you feeling pretty jaded; these young people are working to ensure we have a future. Support them if you can with donations!…
The Community School (TCS)
The Community School is a unique academic and mentoring high school for young people in Baltimore. Since its founding, TCS has worked with hundreds of students, helping them stabilize their lives, advance their education, and go on to college. Many donate their time and energy to TCS in recognition of the students’ promise and brilliance.
There is a multimedia studio that produces an impressive weekly newscast. TCS students are critical thinkers who are intellectually curious and creative because of their safe, supportive, and comfortable yet rigorous environment. With an enrollment of under 20 students and led by Tom Culotta, who started the school in 1982, it represents a beacon of community education in Baltimore; each TCS class comprises students who will be diligent, thoughtful, and engaged leaders.

We had a terrific “Conversation with…” photographer Kyle Pompey today. In addition to being the chief photographer for Mayor Brandon Scott, Mr. Pompey’s work has been featured at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum as well as appearing in a variety of national publications from Ebony Magazine to the Baltimore Afro American Newspaper.
Mr. Pompey shared with me class his career journey, a bit about his life, along with his photographs. He illustrated each of his works with a story that showed his love and respect for people.
The conversation with the students was lively and kept everyone keenly interested. The session was capped with an extended tour of the school and a group photo.
We have already talked about how we can work together in the future and Mr. Pompey offered to stay in touch and come back when called.
Thank you Kyle Pompey for your generosity of time and spirit!

Learning about education in Liberia was the theme of yesterday’s continuing dialogue with our partner organization B4YT. We are in our 2nd year of working with Burning Barriers Building Bridges Youth Theatre, a youth empowerment organization in Liberia, West Africa. Every other week we exchange videos where the young people from each of our organizations share about a topic to learn about each other’s lives, conditions and issues.

Our students watched a video produced by B4YT’s youth about the education system in Liberia with their young people sharing both their experiences and perspectives. We then filmed a return video answering questions B4YT submitted to us including the structure of our school day and the impact of racism in schools.

This effort is facilitated by TCS staff and alumnus Janiah Tillery and continues to be an enlightening experience that we hope will also include an exchange visit at some point in the future.
