SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT: Cox Academy

Hi everyone and welcome to the new year! Cox Academy is a PreK-5 school in East Oakland providing rigorous instruction in the core content areas while fostering critical thinking, problem solving and application of learning to prepare students for success in higher education. Cox Academy is a part of the larger Education for Change Public Schools which operate 7 charter schools in the Fruitvale and Elmhurst neighborhoods serving over 3,000 preK-12 students. The staff at Cox Academy are rooted in love and community. I hope to provide concrete examples of what that love, and community looks like on campus.

In December, the school community liaison organized a toy drive allowing every student in the school to get a visit from Santa (a.k.a. Mr. Currie, the school Principal). Each student received a toy to take home for the holidays. That’s right every student at the school was able to receive a gift to take home! The student council also held a fundraiser that sold out twice! This is an example of the community showing up and showing out for the students at Cox Academy.
​

On the second day back from winter break, school staff were asked to show up as a community once again. Cox Academy experienced a need to transition students’ homes within a short notice, and the staff rallied together for a school wide transition. This transition required staff to quickly communicate with students, and parents centering safety at a time that felt uncertain. I asked Shelby Carroll, a Senior Student Support Assistant at Cox academy to provide a quote related to her experience and this is what Shelby shared, “It’s amazing to see how our school comes together to support the students and staff. Cox Academy is a community that I am proud to be a part of. Being on campus you can feel the connection from the staff with the families. It also brings a source of pride, to see everyone seamlessly pull together in a matter of minutes. To highlight Cox is to highlight unconditional education and support, because that’s what we truly give daily.” Cobra Strong = "Great on our own, best together!"
