Welcome Visitors,
I would like to personally welcome you to Lee A.
Tolbert Community Academy’s official website. While the
primary purpose of this site is to provide you with an
overview of our academy, I see it serving a more important
goal.
This website is our celebration of the
fruition of more than a decade of hard work, dedication and
tireless devotion to the Kansas City urban core.
Lee A. Tolbert Community Academy
certainly has changed over the years. When we started back
in 1999, our school consisted of a few crowded classrooms
located within the Christ Temple Church’s walls. Now, under
the leadership of Principal Vivian Roper, approximately 475
dedicated students enter our state-of-the-art facility ready
to be responsible, prepared and ready to lead.
And the future continues to be bright
for this premiere community charter school. Recently the
school received a ten-year renewal on its charter and
received accolades from the State of Missouri’s school
board. We are in the planning stage of expanding our campus
and debuting a new High School. Our modern community center
will soon be open and will provide our students with twice
the space as the previous gym.
But what excites me most is the
potential of our students. I’ve observed young minds
developing strong leadership skills. I’ve observed students
who act with equal amounts of ambition and compassion. I’ve
observed children model future businesses with excitement
and the determination to someday bring their businesses to
life.
I observe every day the future
entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy exploring these pages, and if you have any
questions or comments we would love to hear them. As a part
of this community, I thank you for your involvement in our
students’ lives, and if you are new to us, we would love for
you to become a part of our community of education.
With Respect & Pride,
Bishop Mark C. Tolbert
Director, Lee A. Tolbert Community Academy
