Success Academy

Charter Schools serving the Harlem community in several ways including 
Family Academic Events, tutoring for scholars, parent counseling, and 
fundraising initiatives.
  Tremaine Price, born and raised in Brooklyn, was a burgeoning young 
artist, performing in plays, music groups, glee clubs, choirs, and 
praise groups. He received The Brooklyn Old Timers, the Brooklyn Links, 
the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Posse Foundation Merit 
Leadership scholarships to pave the way for his collegiate studies at 
Vanderbilt University. There he participated in and led several student 
organizations and honed his theatrical skills, highlighted by directing 
a student version of Ntozake Shange's play, ``for colored girls who 
have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf'' and founding The 
Black Arts Series at Vanderbilt University.
  Tremaine Price is a drama minister and playwright, his original play 
is titled ``For Christian Girls'' and it debuted in August 2011. He 
strives to incorporate performance art into worship, which not only 
means acting out skits, but also revealing the truths of our triumphs, 
fears, suffering, and joys through the Christian faith. He is a member 
of the Young Adult Ministry (Praise Team), the Berean Brotherhood, and 
the servant leader for the Spiritual Expressions Drama Ministry. He 
intends on pursuing higher education degrees in Theatre Education and 
hopes to one day grace the Broadway stage.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Tremaine Antoine Price for his 
leadership in the religious word and in his community.
