Pro-Vision has learned that in order to complete the transformation and make an impact in the life of a young person, you have to not only teach their mind, but teach their heart also. At Pro-Vision, we have inspired and impacted the lives of over 6,000 young men and women.

​

MISSION

Pro-Vision was created to inspire hope and purpose into young people through access to academic, economic, and social enrichment opportunities.

​

HISTORY

After a successful professional football career, Roynell Young conceived of and began Pro-Vision in 1990. Located in southeast Houston, TX, Pro-Vision has impacted the lives of thousands of students and families for thirty-four years. The Pro-Vision Academy (PVA) began as a Houston Independent School District charter school in 1995. In 2012, PVA was authorized by the Texas Education Agency as a state open enrollment charter school.  What began as an after-school program serving young men in an 800 square foot rented space has flourished and grown into a multifaceted educational approach located on 21 acres. Since 1990, Mr. Young’s vision has positively impacted the lives of students, their families, and their community.

 

The Pro-Vision Academy serves young people grades 6th – 12th. Its supplemental programs include The Manhood Development Program, a character development program, and The Job Enterprise Program, a career training program that blends workforce and education to ensure college and career-readiness. Additionally, the property has a 2-acre working Urban Farm/Aquaponics Program that uses the production and sale of produce to instill the spirit of entrepreneurial-ism in underserved youth, while addressing prevalent issues in the community, such as childhood obesity and the lack of access to healthy and fresh food options.

 

The Pro-Vision Academy has many exceptional students and programs. We are intentional in creating a strong sense of community that emphasizes safety, small class sizes, and purposeful relationships. An example of this is our Warriors Weekly News, a student-driven broadcast that covers school and community information, current events, and it showcases our school pride, academic, and leadership accomplishments. The PVA serves students in middle school grades 6–8 and high school grades 9–12. It is a small school with a focus on personalized education.
