In 2012, Corey Smith opened the Smith Academy for Excellence, an all-boys charter school established to strategically develop elite scholars of responsibility, dignity, character, and service. Smith seeks to know his students personally and to show them the love of God. He says his success stems from the mentors, many of whom he met at Grace, who have helped him discover what rewarding jobs look like.
“All of this is a trickle-down effect of my own faith formation at Grace College,” Smith said. “And now, generations of my students are the benefactors.”
