A Proud Principal’s Message to the BTSA Family!


Greetings BTSA Family,
It is with deep gratitude and tremendous joy that I introduce myself as your PROUD Principal.
Rita Pierson once said, “Every child deserves a champion.” I am honored to stand in your scholar’s village as one of their champions, committed to nurturing their brilliance, celebrating their growth, and advocating for their success.
My educational philosophy is rooted in an unwavering belief that every child can learn and deserves an exceptional education, regardless of their zip code, background, or circumstance. I was once that little girl who was counted out, facing more obstacles than opportunities. Because of that journey, I carry a personal passion for ensuring that every scholar at BTSA is seen, valued, and empowered. Here, your scholar matters. Here, we are united in our mission to Bridge the Gap to Success.
I am excited for an incredible academic year filled with learning, discovery, and growth. Thank you for welcoming me into this amazing community.
Educationally Yours,
Dr. Latoya Raines Council
Principal, Bridge to Success Academy Middle
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”
