Dear Federal Way Public Academy Families,

I am excited and honored to join the FWPA Family, continuing the legacy of a college preparatory experience that is challenging, rigorous, and intellectually relevant while also embracing, teaching, and celebrating the diversity of our scholars, our community, and our nation. Through strong school-family partnerships, together we can ensure that each of our scholars has the academic and personal qualities needed to reach and exceed their dreams at their next educational level and beyond.

My own family is the most important aspect of my life – we push each other to achieve great things while also continuously serving as a sounding board and safety net for whenever needed. We remind each other and cheer each other on to explore and expand our horizons, making sure we each devote time to develop our personal hobbies and our impact in our communities. This interconnectedness, I believe, allows us to thrive in any situation. The same interconnectedness permeates the halls of FWPA.

As we begin our return to full in-person instruction in the fall, our team will be working diligently to continue the close-knit, supportive culture for which FWPA is known. Please look forward to engagement opportunities throughout the year for both our scholars and our families to take an active role in driving their education. Always feel free to reach out if you have any questions or we can support your family and your scholar in any way. The door is always open!

In partnership,

Andrea Tee
