Pioneering a New Model for School Success

 Yellowstone College Prep, nearly seven years in the making, is excited to welcome over 250 students to the newly remodeled campus. As a special welcome to our bright young students, we invited Yellowstone College Prep board members, community members, and faculty to cheer them on for their first day of school. 

Executive Director Ryan Dolibois, led the back to school rally with uplifting words and a huge smile.  

 

“Seeing everyone here supporting and cheering our students on as they make their way to class will empower and inspire their young minds,” said Dolibois. “This is the network of support that will be cheering them on all the way through college.”

 

Among our experienced and diverse leadership is Head of Schools Deidra Lawson who has a demonstrated history of positive results working in public education and over 15 years of experience as a teacher and administrator in Houston. Lawson has helped recruit a seasoned team of educators to join the Yellowstone College Prep team. 

 

“At Yellowstone College Prep, we know that no significant learning can occur without significant relationships. In that spirit, we will show our students that all of us—parents, staff, and community supporters—are committed to their success,” said Lawson. 

Our school opening is the first of many big milestones planned for Yellowstone schools. In the coming years, the boards for both schools have a vision to open a residence hall on campus where high school students could live during the week. 

“We are poised to have an incredible impact on not just our students and families, but on the city of Houston for decades to come,” said Dolibois.

Founded in 2018, Yellowstone College Prep educates 325 children in 6th through 11th grade and will grow a grade each year to serve 12th grade by 2026. Yellowstone partners with students and families—regardless of financial means—to provide a life-changing education, develop a strong moral foundation, and prepare scholars for life beyond high school. The campus is located in the Third Ward, one of Houston’s oldest historically Black neighborhoods.

 

Most students served live in communities without access to strong educational opportunities. With an average student to adult ratio of 18:1, our students experience a rich academic and co-curricular model while receiving bus transportation, two meals a day, and access to a comprehensive student support program.
