This week’s Homegrown Hero is Samuel Garrison, who has been Principal at the Camden Street School for the last eight years.
The Camden Street School is a school that serves 11 grades, and their students’ ages range from three-year-olds up to 14 and 15-year-olds.
In 2017, the New York Red Bulls front office teamed up with After-School All-Stars from Camden Street School to develop a mentorship program, and last year, our club, alongside Wells Fargo US Soccer Foundation and Newark Public school partnered up to open a mini pitch at Camden Street School.
“Our partnership with the Red Bulls came with our association with After-School All-Stars, and literally you can see it’s a family affair,” said Principal Garrison in a recent interview.
