CEO Message

Dear Benjamin Franklin Families,

I welcome our returning families as well as those who are new to the BFE family to the 2023-2024 school year! This is our sixth year as a charter school under the Legacy of Excellence Board. We are reshaping our culture and focusing on our vision to accelerate the learning of all students through data driven inquiry, reflective teaching and powerful learning. With your active support of our school, we can make that vision a reality.

The theme for this year is “Structuring Opportunities for Academic Rigor (SOAR).” This theme will help us close the achievement gap and get us in tune with reshaping our culture. We continue on our path to excellence. We hope that you will connect with us on many levels to further the education of your child and the betterment of our school.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education,

J. Cornell Brooks, Ed.D.
Chief Executive Officer

In the spring of 2015 I had the pleasure of attended a musical event at the school. This school is where New Orleans’s great young minds gather. Students excel in the Math and Science.

Norma Iris Volkers

Didn’t want to go when I got accepted, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Proud to be an alum. Yes, very stressful at times and lots of hard work, but it definitely is worth it. This school prepares you for anything and everything!
