Head of Ansley School

Born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana, Ray is a critically conscious and outcomes-driven educational leader. Over nearly 15 years, Ray has held various roles in schools & communities in Baton Rouge, LA, Atlanta, GA, and Newark, NJ including substitute teacher, graduate assistant, literacy teacher, educational policy fellow, instructional coach, education community organizer, curriculum auditor, assistant principal, adjunct professor, and educational consultant. His undergraduate and master’s degrees are from LSU (Geaux Tigers!) and outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their 2 young daughters and relishes victories for the Los Angeles Lakers, LSU Tigers, and the culture (politics, hip hop, etc.).
Ray firmly believes in the limitless potential & power of all children and knows they will be the leaders of their revolution- now and later. As a second-year Head of School, Ray looks forward to being a good steward of all and continuing to co-create the most optimal conditions that Ansley School students, families, staff, and community deserve, and so much more.
