Our focus on Black Excellence.

Greenwood Leadership Academy is passionate about advancing African-American
achievement in our community. We are determined that North Tulsa’s students and community members will experience Black excellence in every aspect of their lives – through high levels of student success and visible examples of Black leadership throughout the school and community. Being a school that is unapologetically focused on Black Excellence does not mean excluding any other group. We warmly welcome everyone into the GLA family, and trust that all will appreciate the importance in our community of a school that is unrelenting about achieving Black excellence in every arena.
