With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our longtime Speech and Language Pathologist and dear friend, Kate Penn.
Kate was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome. Her positive attitude, genuine kindness, and passion for living life to the fullest left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Whether she was supporting students, encouraging colleagues, or sharing the mission of Performance Academies with families in the community, Kate gave her whole heart to everything she did.
We could always count on Kate. Throughout her years with Performance Academies, she touched the lives of countless students, families, and staff members. While the space she leaves behind can never truly be filled, we know our schools and our community are better because we had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
We will deeply miss her larger-than-life personality, her contagious smile, and the incredible hugs that made so many people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Our hearts are with Kate's family and friends. We are holding them close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time and extend our deepest love and support.
Kate's legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the students she championed, the colleagues she encouraged, and the countless moments of kindness she shared. She will forever be a part of the Performance Academies family and will be deeply missed.
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, we want you to know that we are here for you 8:00-4:00 Monday-Friday. If you need help with enrollment or have any last-minute questions, please don't hesitate to call or stop by.
🎉 Please join us in welcoming Mr. Todd Coleman as the new Principal of Columbus Performance Academy – Shepard! 🎉
A Columbus native, Mr. Coleman brings a wealth of experience in charter school leadership and a deep commitment to helping scholars succeed. His passion for education, strong leadership, and dedication to building positive school communities make him a wonderful addition to the Performance Academies family.
When he's not at school, Mr. Coleman enjoys watching sports—especially basketball! His favorite book is The Bible, and he lives by the inspiring quote:
