This year the Eagle Academy Foundation will declare the week of May 7th as Eagle Week. The week will be dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of the young men of the Eagle Academy and to empowering them for even greater future success. Through a series of unique events---including a day of service, professional development conference, youth summit/community day and an annual breakfast fund raiser---educators, students, parents, corporate partners and community leaders will learn the importance and commitment involved in providing quality education for inner city young men to excel.
The following events will occur during Eagle Week:
