A Letter from Tequila Lamar, Head of School
Dear Centennial Families,
"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 toward achieving 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.
I am committed to continuing to work toward excellence together. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance to you.
Warmly,
Tequila Lamar, Head of School
