Head of School Percy L. Abram
“I celebrate Black History Month by reading more about our past and planning for our future.”
Dr. Abram is Head of School of The Bush School. He loves running, reading, sports, and anything associated with The Bush School. His role models include El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, James Baldwin, John Coltrane and Prince. To change the world, Percy will “bend the arc toward justice.”
When asked what being Black means to Percy, he shared, “It means that I have a connection to both struggle and triumph. It means that there is no obstacle insurmountable. It means that I am part of a tradition of excellence, creativity, innovation, and a fight for radical peace and love. It means that my successes are my community's. It means that I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and that I live each day with a hopefulness and responsibility.” Percy hopes to be remembered as someone who tried to love those around him.
The Bush School is an independent, coeducational day school located in Seattle, WA enrolling 715 students in grades K–12. The mission of The Bush School is to spark in students of diverse backgrounds and talents a passion for learning, accomplishment, and contribution to their communities.
