LOL: Celestine Lewis’ company is selling the building that houses her school

laughter

DoubtYesterday, I reported that the founder of Jaqueline Harris Preparatory Academy, Celestine Lewis, tried to buy the Gibson School at a recent school board meeting. The board eventually approved the sale to the City of Pensacola with a 3-2 vote, with David Williams and Carissa Bergosh dissenting.

Her reason for making an offer on the Gibson School was: “Our building is up for sale.”

The building at 8190 Pensacola Boulevard is owned by NEW ROAD TO LEARNING, INC (Deed)- the non-profit that Lewis formed in 2001 to run Jaqueline Harris Preparatory Academy. See New Road.
