Meet Our Principal
Welcome to Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy. My name is Matthew Dolan and I am honored to say that I have led Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy since 2017; however, I have served the Whitehall community since 2011.
Our mission here at WPFA is to provide an environment where all students have the opportunity to excel in strong academics and have access to the best athletic program focusing on martial arts, soccer and tennis. This focus allows all of our students to develop strong minds and strong bodies.
Our core instructional program incorporates resources that follow the standards provided through the Ohio Department of Education.
In addition to strong academics and fitness, WPFA offers intervention services which include individualized education plans (IEP), speech services, occupational therapy services, counseling services, positive behavior intervention supports, and so much more to support the overall growth of every student.
Through our dedication and passion for the growth of our students, WPFA has been recognized as a High Quality Charter School by the Department of Education since the 2023-2024 school year.
Please feel free to reach out to us at 614-324-4585 if you have any questions. My team and I are here to ensure your child receives the education they deserve.
Yours in Educational Excellence,
Matthew Dolan M. Ed., Principal
