LeBron James successfully opens I Promise school
As a part of LeBron James’ constant philanthropic efforts through the LeBron James Family Foundation, he is opening the I Promise Elementary and Secondary schools. On Monday, July 30, the school was debuted for the public.
LeBron James has made an impact in the NBA his entire career, starting as an 18-year-old straight out of high school. But before the fame and fortune, he was just a boy from Akron, Ohio trying to stay on a positive track.
Per Sports Illustrated, it is a joint project between the foundation and the Akron Public School District, as it is a public school for at-risk students. While public, placement is based on educational and socioeconomic backgrounds of students.
