Welcome to Discovery Academy
Greetings Discovery Academy families!
I am honored to join Berrien Springs Public Schools as the new Director of On-Campus Non-Traditional Programs. I look forward to working alongside you to ensure every scholar is supported, challenged, and celebrated.
I want you to know that I am here to listen to your concerns, value your insights, and partner with you as we grow together as a learning community. Your scholar’s success—academically, socially, and emotionally—will always be my highest priority.
Together, we will create an environment where every learner feels seen, supported, and inspired to achieve their personal best.
Warm Regards,
Chiquita T. Adams, Ed.S, M.Ed.
Director of On-Campus Non-Traditional Programs
