“Express Yourself”: A Scholar’s Story
Jun 5, 2019
Stay Connected!
We’re thrilled to introduce three incredible leaders to the Achievement First community!
Amy D’Angelo in Connecticut
Kristin Damo in New York
Tom McDermott in Rhode Island
As our new Regional Executive Directors, Amy, Kristin, and Tom will play a critical role in driving school success across our network. They will oversee the K-12 journey — or as we’re committed to at AF, supporting the K-16 journey — in each region, working closely with principals, regional superintendents, and community members to ensure every student receives an excellent education and every school thrives.
This is a major milestone in our work to deepen local leadership and bring decision-making even closer to the communities we serve. These new roles reflect our commitment to stronger connections with our students, families, and communities, and to ensuring our schools reflect the unique strengths, voices, and needs of each region.
Please join us in welcoming Amy, Kristin, and Tom, and in celebrating this exciting step toward a more community-centered future for Achievement First!

Whether you`re reading under a tree, splashing at the pool, or catching up on rest, we hope you’re soaking it in. We can`t wait to see our staff and students when we come back for the new school year!
