![Stacey-with-RW-team-1024x768](https://www.rwci.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/Stacey-with-RW-team-1024x768.jpg?width=2620&height=1965&name=Stacey-with-RW-team-1024x768.jpg)

Principal Stacey Clark was approved by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education. Pictured outside of the Government Center with RWCI’s CEO, Mack McDonald, and Program Officer, Jamese Pinkston.

Stacey tells us a little about herself….

**“Education has always been my passion.** For the past **17 years**, I worked for CMS at the high school, middle school, elementary school, and alternative school levels.  My roles included teacher of English, Title I specialist, academic facilitator, assistant principal, and interim principal.  I simply love children of all ages and abilities.  Prior to moving into education in 2000, I spent 17 years working in the financial industry, managing consumer lending and organizational training and development. 

I received my undergraduate degree in **English** from the **University of Virginia**, my **Masters** in **Social and Organizational Learning** from **George Mason University**, and my **Masters** in **Educational Leadership** from **Winthrop University**. I am truly a life-long learner and can offer a personal account of how education provides so many remarkable opportunities in life.

My dedication to the profession is acknowledged through several recognitions.

- **NC Principals & Assistant Principals’ Association (NCPAPA) Distinguished Leadership in Practice**
- **Charlotte Post Educator of the Year**
- **Teacher of  the Year, West Charlotte High School; Teacher of the Year, Osbourn High School**

My husband and daughter are my strength and joy.  My personal time is full of family centered events, reading and traveling.

Welcome, Stacey, to the Renaissance West family!

Located in west Charlotte on the corner of Billy Graham Parkway and West Boulevard, **Renaissance West STEAM Academy** is part of **RWCI’s cradle-to-career education pipeline**. Based off of the **Purpose Built Schools** model out of Atlanta, GA, the model has proven to educate children from low income backgrounds effectively.
