Lonnie Kendall

Lonnie's primary responsibilities are creating day-to-day logistics of the middle school year-around and summer programming. In addition to the logistics, he is encouraging students to grow and become better than they were yesterday, guiding a part-time staff of great middle school teachers and advocates, and helping create a more equitable Durham one day at a time.
