Taking Action with Kantis Simmons

As the nation’s leading school success strategist my aim is to forestall the academic failure epidemic, teacher turnover rate, and trillion dollars student loan debt crisis sweeping across America’s schools and colleges.

That's why I'm irrationally passionate about inspiring students, parents, and educators to skyrocket their performance in school and life.

I was born to two loving parents who ignited the fire for excellence in me at 6 months, by placing me in school.

YES! I have been in school for 25 years! It sounds like a long time...I know! However, those academic years were crucial in my educational and professional successes and the reason for my passion for inspiring others. 

As a student I earned:

• A BS Degree in Chemistry from Norfolk State University (Norfolk, VA)
• A MS Degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA),
• A MS Degree in Textile and Fiber Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA).

Likewise, as a cool nerd, I was blessed to work as a Research Scientist for companies like Mobil Chemical Company, NASA Langley Research Center, and CIBA Vision (now Alcon).
