YES Prep North Central Secondary

A bittersweet moment for our Trailblazer family. 💙🧡

After four years at North Central Secondary, including serving as Dean of Instruction before becoming our Director of Academics, Ms. Shawntae Means is beginning a new chapter as she relocates to Denton, TX. Her leadership has helped drive significant academic gains across our campus, and the transformational relationships she built with students, families, and staff have left a lasting impact on our community. We are incredibly grateful for all she has given to NCS and will miss her tremendously.

At the same time, we are excited to welcome Teneiza Tibbs-Jackson as our new Director of Academics. A proud member of the NCS family for the past seven years, Ms. Tibbs-Jackson has served our students and staff in numerous leadership roles and brings a deep commitment to academic excellence and student success. We are excited to continue blazing trails under her leadership.

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Means’ incredible legacy and welcoming Ms. Tibbs-Jackson into her new role!

A strong school year starts before the first day of class.
