Greetings from Principal

Greetings EPIC Eagles,

I hope that you all had a restful summer and are as excited as we are for the new school year. Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at the EPIC Center, the home of Alpha Academy, Rockdale Open Campus, and Rockdale Virtual Campus.

As I embark on my 28th year in education and 3rd year as the director of the EPIC Center I am excited about the gains that we have made, and I am eagerly anticipating another year of continued growth in all aspects of our programs. It truly is an honor to serve in my community. I look forward to continuing to work with our faculty and staff to provide our students with the best educational experiences possible to be critical thinkers and responsible citizens, who are adequately prepared to be successful in their endeavors after high school.

This year we will continue to implement initiatives to promote teaching and learning, and to engage all stakeholders in the process of educating our students. We are committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of our organization and will use our collective skills, available resources, and the expertise of our highly qualified faculty and staff to make a significant impact on the lives of our students. Parents, you are valued partners in the work that we do, and we look forward to your continued support throughout the school year.

The first day of school for the 2025-2026 school year is August 4, 2025. Please join us for Open House on July 29, 2025, on campus. Rockdale Virtual Campus and Alpha Academy from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., Rockdale Open Campus from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. I am excited about all that this new school year has to offer and look forward to working collectively as a family to achieve our objectives for this year. It is going to be an amazing year.

Sincerely,
Dr. Eldridge Powell
Director
