Brett Pyle - Board Chairman
About Me
My wife Jeanne and I have three children, Lauren (a graduate of Langston), Kaitlyn (a Langston 7th Grader) and Jonathan (a 3rd Grader at Oakview), so we have considerable interest in ensuring that Langston Charter continues to be a success. Personally, I'm passionate about implementing and further expanding what we've been doing at Langston. I believe in the benefits of the single-gendered classroom model and the focus Langston places on Leadership Development and Community Service is directly aligned with my own interests and commitments. In fact, the mission of one of the businesses I'm presently involved in launching is to provide executive coaching services to foreign nationals expatriated to the US, to help them development a leadership style of their own that's effective in a Western business context.
