How did the Building Academic Excellence program get its start?

Thomas M. Tramble, M.A. Education Administration, began the concept of coaching academic excellence in low achieving students early in his 35 years of public education. His teaching experience includes middle school sites, high school campuses, alternative education settings, community mentoring settings and college campuses.

Throughout the years he has gathered ideas and brainstormed how best to affect the achievement gap in American public schools. Many inner city educators have watched the achievement gap widen rather than seen it begin to close. The Building Academic Excellence program takes the task of closing the achievement gap as its primary objective and has made it personal to the learner. His students have built academic excellence and are now leaders in their communities.
