Before she led Bed-Stuy Middle School, Principal Alexander was a young girl with a clear dream: to become a teacher! ✏️✨
Her passion for education started early, and today, that lifelong dream translates into pushing scholars to do better than yesterday, encouraging teachers to strive for excellence, and building a school community centered on growth.
From a childhood dream to a legacy of impact, Principal Alexander shows our scholars what’s possible when you pursue your goals with purpose and dedication.🧡💙

A daily routine of discovery! 📚✨
Every single day at Success Academy Bed-Stuy Middle School, our scholars step into our classroom libraries for independent reading time. From diving into new mysteries to getting lost in non-fiction, this quiet time of exploration has quickly become a favorite part of the day for so many of our scholars. Building lifelong readers starts with giving them the time, space, and choices to fall in love with books. 💙🧡

From favorite dishes to vibrant carnival traditions, 5th grader Isabella is proudly showing us what being Dominican is all about! 🇩🇴

She shared how much she loves mangú con tres golpes (mashed plantains topped with salami, eggs, and pickled onions), talked about the colorful diablo cojuelo during Dominican Carnival, and taught us the classic Dominican greeting: "¡Klk!" (¿Qué lo qué?). Celebrating our scholars’ rich heritage and lived experiences makes our school community stronger, more connected, and full of joy every single day.
