Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sally Rabi to the Performance Academies family as Superintendent of Eastland Performance Academy, South Scioto Performance Academy, and Whitehall Preparatory & Fitness Academy!
Dr. Rabi considers herself a global citizen, having lived and worked in several countries around the world. Those experiences have shaped her belief that every culture has something to teach us and that learning is a lifelong journey enriched by curiosity, understanding, and diverse perspectives.
She believes every child possesses a remarkable brain, uniquely wired to learn, create, and grow. For Dr. Rabi, the purpose of education is not to fit children into a single model, but to discover the pathways that unlock each student's unique gifts, empowering them to reach their fullest potential and become who they were meant to be.
Her favorite quote beautifully reflects that philosophy:
"Wisdom begins in wonder."
— Socrates
As we begin this school year, Dr. Rabi shared:
"Thank you again for the warm welcome. I am excited to be part of the Performance Academies family and look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families to make this an outstanding school year."
Welcome to Performance Academies, Dr. Rabi! We are excited for the leadership, vision, and passion you bring to our schools.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
As we head into this historic Independence Day weekend, we’re reflecting on what it means to build a lasting legacy. At Performance Academies, our mission goes beyond the classroom to prepare our scholars for a lifetime of leadership and service.
That’s why every single day includes 30 minutes of dedicated Character Education. By focusing on the core values of responsibility, respect, and kindness, we are helping our young stars grow into the responsible citizens who will shape the next 250 years of our nation’s story.
We are so incredibly proud of our scholars and grateful for our amazing families who partner with us in this journey. Whether you’re celebrating with fireworks, a backyard BBQ, or quiet time with loved ones, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday weekend!
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures.

Here at South Scioto we understand athletics is more than just how fast, strong, and quick you are. For us, words like determination, attitude, and desire are among the most important. Being an athlete is more than being athletic, and from the first day of school this student has been all of the above. Every day he comes to school with a desire to learn and grow while maintaining a joyful attitude. Whether it be Martial Arts, Soccer or Tennis, Meko tries his best to learn and we are honored to award him with The Athlete of the Month for May.
Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made our freedoms possible, and we are grateful for their courage and commitment.
From all of us at Performance Academies, we wish our students, families, faculty, and staff a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we take time to reflect, remember, and give thanks. 🇺🇸
The ice cream truck was a HUGE hit with our 8th graders during their visit to the future home of Columbus Performance High School East! 🍦🎓
Students had the opportunity to get their first look at where our 9th and 10th grade students will learn, grow, and build the foundation for their future next school year. The excitement is real, and we can’t wait to welcome our high school students this fall. ❤️

The Golden Shoe Award at South Scioto Performance Academy for the week of May 11th, 2026 goes to our Tennis Tournament Participants. This group of students athletes may have not placed as well as they wanted but they won something so much more important, a love and desire to play the game. We here at South Scioto Performance Academy are so proud of the work they’ve put in this year and cannot wait to see them next school year.
Today we celebrate the moms, grandmothers, guardians, and mother figures who pour so much love, strength, and support into the lives of our students every single day. ❤️

The Golden Shoe Award at South Scioto Performance Academy for the week of May 4th, 2026 goes to Ms. Qualls Kindergarten grade class. This week in fitness these kindergartners have been hard at work getting ready for our state tennis and soccer tournaments in two weeks time. For soccer, shooting and dribbling drills are a constant and in tennis the students love hitting forehand winners. As we approach the end of the year, we can’t help but look back and be in awe of how much progress these students have made. We here at South Scioto are so proud to have such a great group of kindergarteners!
