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.
