Rise of the Titans
Meet The Student-Athletes Defining Excellence
At KIPP High School, athletics teach perseverance, discipline, and how to balance academics with time on the court. Titan student-athletes push through injuries, juggle demanding coursework, and commit to rigorous training, learning firsthand that success requires determination and resilience.
Every Titan athlete has a unique story. Below, meet the students who are building their athletic careers while also crafting a legacy at a school only in its fifth year of operation.
Football and Family
“My ‘why’ is my family.” For Neo Echevarria, a freshman running back at KIPP High School, football is about more than just the game. “I’m trying to make it for my family. That’s who I’m doing it for,” he says. Echevarria chose KHS because of the growing football program’s ability to give freshmen real opportunities starting day one. “A lot of schools overlook freshmen, but at KIPP, they gave me the chance to play varsity right away,” he said.
Echevarria’s relentless training (speed drills, weightlifting, and footwork) paid off in a big way when he helped lead KIPP to its first-ever playoff appearance. This past season, Echevarria rushed for 388 yards on 71 carries and scored four touchdowns. “By making the playoffs, we did something that KIPP has never done before. It can only grow from here,” he said. People are noticing that effort. Sports Illustrated named Echevarria one of New Jersey’s top freshmen players, an honor that he doesn’t take lightly. “It felt great being nominated—it’s a huge opportunity to get my name out there for football and proof that hard work pays off,” he said.
However, for Echevarria, success isn’t just about the field. “Education is always first. You have to be smart on the field and in the classroom,” he says. His ultimate goal? Earning a spot at a Division I football program—maybe Ohio State—and then making it to the NFL.
Cheering on School Culture
“Through our athletes, we see and feel the heartbeat of the school,” says Nicole Holmes, KIPP High School’s cheerleading coach. For Holmes, athletics are more than just competition, they’re vital to the high school experience. “I think it’s important for students to be active in things other than academics,” she explains. “Athletes tend to have a more grounded view of the importance of academics and how success in the classroom impacts what they can or cannot do.” As the leaders of school spirit, Holmes’s cheerleaders play a key role in uniting the student body. “My cheerleaders are in charge of the whole school’s energy,” she says. “That spirit is what’s going to bring us together as a building.”
For sophomore Amya Moore, cheerleading is about confidence and sisterhood. “It brings you closer to your team and your school,” she says. Starting as a freshman, she grew more connected to the team and self-assured.
“Performing in front of a big crowd boosts your confidence."
Serve, Spike, and Step Up
"Don’t be afraid to try." That’s the advice Akira Singleton, a junior at KIPP High School, has for students thinking about becoming a student-athlete. She started playing volleyball as a freshman, first as an opposite hitter, drawn to the excitement of attacking the ball. Now, as a setter, she’s stepped into a leadership role on the team. “As a setter, you’re the leader of the team,” she says. “It can be tricky balancing academics and athletics, but our coach reminds us that we’re representing our school, which means keeping our grades up.” With her sights set on playing at Rutgers University, Singleton hopes to continue her journey both on the court and in the classroom and plans to study psychology.
For volleyball coach Rachel McLaughlin-McManis, watching players like Singleton grow makes the program special. “It’s exciting to see the love for volleyball grow as the program has developed over the last five years,” she says. McLaughlin-McManis cherishes moments like taking students to Rutgers New Brunswick each year to watch a high-level competition and meet college athletes. “The students not only develop their skills but immerse themselves in what college-level play looks like,” she says. For players like Singleton, that inspiration is already fueling big dreams.
Finding Clarity in Every Mile
A junior at KIPP High School and former All-American in junior high, Saniyah Bond uses running to clear her mind.“Running is like therapy to me,” said Bond, who competes in the mile during indoor track and is taking on the 400m hurdles this spring. Balancing academics and athletics isn’t always easy, but she’s learned that good time management—and making sure it stays fun—makes a difference. “If it’s not fun, it’s not worth it,” she says.
This season came with challenges when an injury put Bond in a leg boot, but she stayed connected to the team and focused on recovery. As the only female athlete currently competing on the track team, she’s used to standing out, but she’s never felt alone, especially with Coach Mo, who has known her since she was six, offering guidance and now coaching. Now, back on the track, she’s pushing forward as she returns to running for the spring.
Defining the Student-Athlete
Tahmir Dixon, a senior at KIPP High School in Camden, has mastered the balance between academics and athletics. As a Titan student-athlete who’s scored 766 points in his three-year basketball career, Dixon knows that success on the court starts in the classroom.
With support from his KIPP Forward counselor, Dixon has stayed focused on his future, refining college essays and meeting deadlines. His passion for technology led him to coding classes at KHS, laying the groundwork for his next chapter. This fall, he’s heading to Villanova University, where he plans to study computer science.
"KIPP has taught me how to balance my ambitions and aim high. For me, it’s never just been about what I’m doing now, it’s about the future I’m building."
The Movers and Makers of Tomorrow
Every day at KIPP New Jersey, students are immersed in a learning environment that challenges them to think deeply, collaborate meaningfully, and pursue purpose with intention.
From a KIPP Justice Academy sixth-grade student government leader helping students stay grounded through yoga to a KIPP Lanning Square Middle student carrying on a family legacy of craftsmanship, KIPP students are tackling real-world challenges with creativity and curiosity.
These are tomorrow's makers, movers, and innovators — and their journey is just beginning.
Brielle Baskerville:
Meet a Young Yoga Leader
Brielle Baskerville, a sixth-grader at KIPP Justice Academy, is not only one of the nation’s youngest yoga instructors but also a passionate advocate for mental health. Brielle started her yoga journey during the pandemic and has since used it to calm her mind and help adults and children do the same. She’s currently a yoga instructor at the Boys and Girls Club in Newark and recently led a chair yoga session for her peers at Justice, offering them a peaceful start to their day.
As Vice President of the Student Government Association, Brielle is determined to spread the calming power of yoga across her school and in the Newark community.
"Yoga helps you process your feelings and calm down if you're sad or frustrated. Starting your day with yoga helps you feel centered."
Crafting Tomorrow Through
STEM Learning
In Bryan Pawling’s STEM classroom at KIPP Lanning Square Middle in Camden, students like Noah Richardson build patience, teamwork, and practical skills through woodworking projects. They’re discovering that the lessons learned at the workbench extend well beyond the classroom.
Noah, a seventh grader and member of the LSM Revs basketball team, has always been interested in working with his hands. He has great role models: His father is an ironworker, and his grandfather was a house builder. Both inspired him to explore his craftsmanship. This year, Noah dove into woodworking, creating everything from CO2-powered ‘dragster’ cars to ‘mountain’ bookshelves that students can take home.
Noah also participated in a Hackathon with students from a South Jersey private school, Kellman Brown Academy, where his team pitched a tech-driven solution to help people with diabetes monitor their blood sugar. "I want to be a professional basketball player, an entrepreneur, or a chef," Noah shares. "No matter what path I take, I want to continue to do hands-on work in the future."
A Force of Nature:
Step Inside Biology with Ms. Rudy
“I grew up with curiosity in me,” says Biology teacher Ris Rudy, reflecting on childhood nights spent peering through a telescope with their father. That same sense of wonder now fuels Rudy’s classroom at KIPP High School, where students are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, and see science in action. Hands-on experiments bring complex concepts to life. “We were studying climate change and the causes of wildfires, but instead of just reading about it, we experimented with yeast and sugar to see how carbon dioxide is released,” Rudy explains. “Students adjusted variables, tracked measurements, and even turned it into a friendly competition.”
Rudi sees science not just as a subject, but as a lifelong mindset. “I try to instill in them to ask the question, wonder why—it serves you for the rest of your life.
This approach has already inspired KHS students like junior Xavier White, who enjoys experiments and discussions about biological forces like wildfires. "In the future, I want to be a chef, and that requires a combination of biology, chemistry, and math to understand how ingredients come together," said Xavier.
Hatch Your Creativity: Blending Science and Beauty with Girl Scouts
This year, KIPP Hatch Middle’s Girl Scouts troop is exploring how STEM connects with the beauty industry. In a series of workshops, they learned about the science behind beauty products and developed their product lines — going through the full process from creation to marketing of items like makeup and soaps. Their learning culminated in a ‘Beauty Meets STEM’ Expo event at Hatch, where students presented their products and the scientific processes that they used to create them while meeting with local entrepreneurs creating similar products.
Seventh grader Elasia Wyatt, who aspires to be a neonatal physician, participated in the event.
"We made soaps, body scrubs, and wax candles, and we saw how different ingredients came together to form these products through chemical reactions. I like science even more now."
Their learning isn’t over: The series continues with a STEM field trip to iFLY, where the girls will explore careers in aviation and the science of flight.
Where Movement, Unity, and Creativity Thrive: Meet Lab’s Dance Team
At KIPP Newark Lab High School, dance is more than just movement—it’s a form of storytelling, expression, and community. Under the guidance of dance teacher Mahala Roberson, students are creating, collaborating, and building confidence.
“Teaching high school dance isn’t just about mastering steps; it’s about creating a space where students feel comfortable and seen,” Roberson explains. “I empower my students to create their own dances, work together, and share their voices, proving that every perspective matters.”
For junior Elijah Griffin, dance has been a lifelong passion, but the class has taken it to a new level. “Taking dance class has been such a great experience, especially on the days when everything clicks—when we nail the choreography or get to create our own dances. My favorite part is choreographing with my peers, and performing at the pep rally was unforgettable,” said Elijah.
Beyond movement, dance at Lab is about growth—both artistically and personally. “This class has fostered my creativity and given us the freedom to express ourselves,” Elijah shares. “Our teacher fully supports that, not just in dance but in life. She’s helped me through different situations and helped me find my voice.”
At Lab, dance is an art form, a creative outlet, and a community where students grow, express themselves, and support one another.
Sounding Out Success
How Kindergarten Sets the Stage for a Lifetime of Reading
For students entering kindergarten, learning to read is a foundational building block to future success. Research shows that a strong foundation in phonics—understanding the connection between letters and sounds—is the basis for building lifelong readers.
Learning to read begins with small, intentional steps. For new readers, phonics is the key that opens the door to understanding words, sentences, and stories. By focusing on the relationship between letters and sounds, children develop the tools they need to decode words independently and begin to read.
KIPP New Jersey has adopted the Magnetic Reading literacy program, which emphasizes a systematic, phonics-based approach that builds confidence in young readers. Parents are critical partners in this journey, providing opportunities for their children to practice skills at home while creating a love for reading.
"Reading at home is critical for our kids because it builds much more than literacy skills. When children hear fluid reading, they learn what it should sound like, and they gain valuable background knowledge that helps them make connections to what they read in school,” says Sabine Vilsaint, Director of Literacy Achievement for KIPP New Jersey.
What does that support look like?
We asked KIPP New Jersey families and teachers to
share their top tips for helping children read at home.
Here’s what they had to say...
“Reading is about more than a child knowing their ABCs, it’s about understanding letter sounds. Once kids connect sounds to letters, they can begin to tackle words. In kindergarten, consistency matters: read together daily, log progress, and build those early habits.”
"We believe that reading starts with the whole family. When they see you reading or their siblings enjoying books, they’ll want to join in, too. Make reading a family activity. Consistency is key, so whether they want to switch it up or revisit the same story, don’t give up."
"My advice is to choose books your child enjoys and let them take the lead. I always ask my son to guess what a book might be about based on the title before we read together. I read with lots of expression and make sure he’s comfortable before we dive in. After we finish a book, he tells me what he remembers about it. We make reading part of our daily routine—whether it’s for the school reading log or bedtime story."
“When my daughter comes home from school, she wants to play school. We have an easel set up in our house, and we write sentences on it and then read them back together. My advice is to let them lead the way and choose the books they enjoy the most.”
“Don’t underestimate the power of word play, like playing rhyming games or singing rhyming songs or even asking your child to tell you the beginning or ending sounds in words. Both of those activities are fun and build early literacy skills too!”
Alumni In Action
KIPP New Jersey alumni are forging their own paths in college and their careers while staying connected to the communities and values that shaped them. From mentoring first-year students to making their mark in the technology industry, these alumni are applying what they’ve learned throughout their education journey in meaningful ways.
KIPP High School
JOSEPH GOMEZ-TAVAREZ
The College of New Jersey, Psychology
Enrolled in a 3+2 psychology program at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), Joseph is on track to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in just five years. While he experienced some initial culture shock adjusting to life on campus, he found his place in organizations like Brother to Brother, which supports Black and Latino men in business and academics, and Union Latinas, where he helps freshmen connect and celebrate Latino culture and academics. “My professors are kind and informative, and my courses are engaging.” As a KIPP High School student, he spoke at a citywide press conference for the Camden Education Fund’s FAFSA challenge, and now, Joseph continues to push for representation and access in higher education.
And Joseph’s roommate at TCNJ? KIPP High School Class of 2024 Valedictorian Basir Bond is currently studying graphic design. Living on campus has been a new experience, but having Joseph as a roommate has made it feel familiar. Basir’s advice for the class of 2025? “Create a schedule, balance work and fun, and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.”
LILIANA NEMORIO-CRUZ
Emory University, Sociology & Finance
At Emory University, Liliana, KIPP’s salutatorian, is embracing the rigor of college coursework. “There’s a big shift—more research papers, more reading—it’s a lot to manage,” she says. Liliana had a lot of practice juggling responsibilities: As a Salutatorian, QuestBridge Prep Scholar, and Future Leaders Cohort member, she was recognized for her academic excellence, leadership, and dedication—earning National Honor Society induction and the award for Most Volunteer Hours. Her advice for KIPP’s Class of 2025 is to “Hold yourself accountable. School, work, responsibilities — you’re the only one who can manage those. Even when you’re afraid to seek help, do it anyway and advocate for yourself.”
KIPP Newark Lab High School
BAKARY KONE
Georgetown University, Economics
At Georgetown University, Bakary Kone is thriving both academically and as a community leader. He credits KIPP Newark Lab High School as a gold mine for self-expression and connection. “Lab showed me how to build community and embody the values I want to reflect,” he shares.
Writing class with English teacher Toi McRae prepared him for the rigor of college coursework, and the support he received from his Lab teachers continues beyond graduation. “I know that everyone is still there for me today when I need something. Lab isn’t just a school—it’s a family that stays with you,” said Bakary.
Now, he’s paying it forward. At Georgetown’s Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, he founded "Chopping It Up," an initiative that provides free haircuts for Black men while fostering conversations about life and identity. He credits Principal Dr. Burroughs and Associate Director of School Operations Qadriyyah Hill for helping him gain the confidence to start the program. Kone’s track record at Lab helped prove to himself that he could create the spaces he wanted to see in institutions.
KIPP Newark Collegiate Academy
COLLINS ABANDA
Duke University, Computer Science
Now a Software Engineer at Apple, Collins Abanda (KIPP Newark Collegiate Academy Class of 2017) has worked on iCloud Backup, Apple Wallet’s Buy Now Pay Later feature, and Apple Music and Maps search tools. After earning his Computer Science degree from Duke University in 2021, he reflects on how the support and foundation from his KIPP Newark community helped shape his path.
Collins was part of the first AP History class at NCA, often sitting in a near-empty classroom with teacher Jeff Fleming. “That class showed me I could do it,” he said. He passed the exam to earn college credit and gained the confidence to take on future academic challenges. Outside the classroom, balancing soccer and rigorous coursework taught him time management, a skill that helped him juggle classes at Duke and now in his career.
His favorite KIPP memory? College tours. “Seeing those campuses made everything feel real—it gave me the confidence to go for it,” he shared, crediting the KIPP Forward team for their support.
Even now, Collins stays connected with his classmates, calls them family, and plans to visit them soon. His advice for students? "Work hard, study, and dare to dream bigger than you think. It’s possible. Shoot your shot."
Giving Back, Growing Together
At KIPP New Jersey, giving back to your community through service is emphasized from the moment students walk through our doors. Across our schools, students step up to support their peers, mentor younger scholars, and give back to the communities and neighborhoods that shaped them.
From KIPP Newark Lab High School students guiding elementary school scientists to KIPP TEAM Academy cheerleaders rallying for a cause at the Breast Cancer Walk, students are proving that leadership extends beyond the classroom.
Through their service, these students are building meaningful connections, opening doors for others, and leading with intention.
Guiding the Next Generation of Scientists
At this year’s KIPP Seek Academy Science Fair, students from KIPP Newark Lab High School volunteered as judges and mentors, supporting younger scholars as they presented their experiments. Newark Lab students engaged with participants, asked thoughtful questions, and encouraged them to take pride in their work.
For Lab junior and Seek alumna Bhriana Marcion, the experience was especially meaningful. “I loved seeing the growth of young minds and how they communicated their projects. It’s great to come back to a school I helped found and give back because I remember when that was me,” Bhriana shared.
For Bhriana’s classmate, junior Mia Richardson, the creativity on display left a lasting impression. “The students were so passionate about their projects, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll create in the future,” said Mia.
Lab students returned to Seek shortly after the event, continuing their support as volunteers for the school’s Spirit Day—another opportunity to stay connected and give back to the community that helped shape them.
Reading and Leading: Titans Give Back
Throughout the school year, KIPP High School students traveled to KIPP Sumner Elementary on Thursdays to read to the next generation of KIPP Camden students. The ‘Tiny Titan’ program had KHS students working one-on-one with Sumner kindergarteners, reinforcing phonics skills and building student confidence in reading.
Their impact is clear. Students are making measurable progress in their reading development, with several in the program surpassing expected growth benchmarks.
Senior Joseph Mejia helped his Sumner mentees, Jovanny Quinones and Ariel Munoz, make impressive gains. "At first, my students were really shy, but I started having each of them read a sentence to each other, and they started to open up. It was really rewarding to see them grow,” said Joseph, who added that the experience has inspired him to consider a career in teaching — a lens that is now guiding his college selection process as he weighs his acceptances to eleven colleges and universities.
Cheering for a Cause
The KIPP TEAM Academy cheerleading team joined high school cheerleaders from KIPP Newark Collegiate Academy and KIPP Newark Lab High School to march and perform at the Breast Cancer Walk in Newark in October.
For A’layah Garner, a TEAM student and cheerleader, the experience was deeply meaningful. “Being with the high schools and cheering was such a powerful moment. It was emotional, but we all came together to support it. Walking for a teammate’s parent made it even more special,” she said.
For Cyriah Jones, the event was personal. “Joining this event at TEAM meant everything to me because my mom is a breast cancer survivor. Not everyone is as fortunate, so coming together as a community to support those affected was powerful,” said Cyriah.
The event was organized by TEAM cheerleading coach Nicole Sunwabe, who emphasized the importance of showing up for the Newark community. “This wasn’t about one school or one team; it was about KIPP standing together for a cause that impacts so many,” she explained.
By marching and cheering, students demonstrated their commitment to supporting and uplifting their community.
The Power of Peer Tutoring
At KIPP Newark Collegiate Academy, members of the National Honor Society (NHS) are making an impact through peer tutoring. Every Monday and Wednesday after school, inducted students volunteer their time to help classmates in core subjects, providing extra academic support in a welcoming, judgment-free space.
The goal is simple: build a culture where asking for help is seen as a strength, not a weakness. NHS President Randon Days, an aspiring mechanical engineer, and Vice President Melanie Oppong-Kyekyeku, who plans to become a trauma surgeon, are working to expand the program. They encourage more students to participate—both as tutors and as those seeking support.
“We want to show students that needing help isn’t something to be embarrassed about. It’s part of growing and learning,” said Melanie.
For Randon, community service is about everyday moments of connection.
“Giving back doesn’t always have to be something huge. It’s about showing up, supporting each other, and making an impact where you can."
Through tutoring, these scholars are not only strengthening their school community but also paving the way for future National Honor Society members, ensuring that mentorship and academic support continue for years to come.
