Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sally Rabi to the Performance Academies family as Superintendent of Eastland Performance Academy, South Scioto Performance Academy, and Whitehall Preparatory & Fitness Academy!
Dr. Rabi considers herself a global citizen, having lived and worked in several countries around the world. Those experiences have shaped her belief that every culture has something to teach us and that learning is a lifelong journey enriched by curiosity, understanding, and diverse perspectives.
She believes every child possesses a remarkable brain, uniquely wired to learn, create, and grow. For Dr. Rabi, the purpose of education is not to fit children into a single model, but to discover the pathways that unlock each student's unique gifts, empowering them to reach their fullest potential and become who they were meant to be.
Her favorite quote beautifully reflects that philosophy:
"Wisdom begins in wonder."
— Socrates
As we begin this school year, Dr. Rabi shared:
"Thank you again for the warm welcome. I am excited to be part of the Performance Academies family and look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families to make this an outstanding school year."
Welcome to Performance Academies, Dr. Rabi! We are excited for the leadership, vision, and passion you bring to our schools.

We are so incredibly proud of our scholars and grateful for our amazing families who partner with us in this journey. Whether you’re celebrating with fireworks, a backyard BBQ, or quiet time with loved ones, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday weekend!

Here at South Scioto we understand athletics is more than just how fast, strong, and quick you are. For us, words like determination, attitude, and desire are among the most important. Being an athlete is more than being athletic, and from the first day of school this student has been all of the above. Every day he comes to school with a desire to learn and grow while maintaining a joyful attitude. Whether it be Martial Arts, Soccer or Tennis, Meko tries his best to learn and we are honored to award him with The Athlete of the Month for May.
Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made our freedoms possible, and we are grateful for their courage and commitment.
From all of us at Performance Academies, we wish our students, families, faculty, and staff a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we take time to reflect, remember, and give thanks. 🇺🇸
