Pitbull built a thriving charter school empire from one Miami site in 2013 into a national network emphasizing sports, academics, and real-world skills for underserved students.
About
Miami-born Pitbull kicked off the SLAM charter schools in 2013 with a flagship campus in Little Havana, blending sports leadership, rigorous academics, and career prep to now serve nearly 10,000 students across 14 tuition-free sites in five states. The network's high-performing model earned the top-scoring $8 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education, funding expansions at four Florida locations to add almost 4,000 seats over five years. Deeply tied to South Florida, Pitbull champions youth empowerment through these schools while eyeing further growth, including past plans for Baltimore.
