Tequila Lamar,  Head of School

"Excellence with Caring" has been my personal and professional motto since graduating from Florida A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Elementary Education. As the Head of School, I am committed to embodying this motto as I work to achieve our core value of Excellence in academics, applied STEAM integrated learning, and ethical leadership. My entire career has been dedicated to education spanning from crib to college through my work as a Child Care Director for the YMCA to the Assistant Director of Upward Bound at Clark Atlanta University. I have also worked at nonprofits and government agencies all serving the children and families of Georgia. I am immensely grateful to work with the scholars of Centennial Academy, including my own two sons, Frankie, Hero '25 and Taj, Legend '17.
