Our founder, Jeremy Kane, started LEAD Academy in 2007 as a single fifth-and sixth-grade school of 92 students in North Nashville. Dissatisfied with the current school offerings available to families in the neighborhood, LEAD was founded on the belief that all students deserve access to a great education that prepares them for the future— regardless of their zip code.
LEAD Academy eventually grew into our flagship high school, with the first graduating class in 2014. Each year culminates in our pinnacle event, Senior Signing Day, where seniors declare publicly that they are ready for the next step in their journey. To this day, our mission continues to prepare EVERY student in our care with the skills and knowledge they need to be ready for college and ready for life. President Bill Clinton spoke at our first Senior Signing Day.
