About CLAS

The Culture and Language Academy of Success was founded by seasoned public school educators, Janis Bucknor, Sharroky Hollie, and Anthony Jackson, who believed that an instructional program could support students’ development of cultural and linguistic knowledge and awareness of themselves, their community, the nation, and the world as an entrée to a standards-based, academically rigorous, and intellectually stimulating curriculum. Janis, Sharroky, and Anthony, through their varied professional experiences and excellent academic preparation, collectively offer the best in instructional leadership.
