About Us
Head of School Welcome
It is with great excitement that welcome you to the 2022-23 school year at Northside Christian Academy. I am truly excited to be a part of this extraordinary school community. I pray that this message finds you and your family doing well as we shift into another exciting year. I can assure you that I share in this school community’s commitment to caring for your children each and every day while providing them a world-class learning environment.
I come to you as a seasoned educational leader, but in addition to my role as an educator, I am first and foremost a man who loves God, a loving husband, and proud father of three amazing young boys. My family and I are excited to be here and are looking forward to being a part of Northside’s bright future.
The 2022-2023 school year will mark my 20th year in education. Since graduating from the University at Buffalo where I earned my Masters in Secondary Social Studies education and Canisius College where I earned my School Building Leadership (SBL) certification, I have had the opportunity to serve as a high school Social Studies teacher for 8 years and then as a school building administrator for the next ten years.
The rich experiences of my past have helped shape me into the leader that I am today. What you are getting in your head of school is a visionary leader who is student-centered and one who believes in the power of developing healthy relationships and partnerships with all stakeholders. I am also very committed to always exploring new ways to meet the needs of all students and to more effectively communicate with parents and community members.
In closing, please know that my door is always open to you. I am confident that as we partner together, we will make Northside stronger. I look forward to celebrating our collective successes throughout the 2022-2023 school year.
Sincerely,
Mr. Andre Thomas
