Dr. Amina Allen joined the Liberty School team in September, serving as the Principal of the Saline Alternative High School and Liberty School. She comes to us from Ann Arbor Public Schools where she worked as an Assistant Principal at Skyline High School and Pathways to Success. Dr. Allen earned her doctorate from the University of Michigan and her Bachelor’s of Science from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU).

Since joining the Liberty team, Dr. Allen has especially enjoyed serving a building of multiple ages and abilities and seeing the ways the programs collaborate for social and emotional learning and growth. Dr. Allen said of her time at Saline Schools, “I have enjoyed the professionalism and the shared commitment to doing what’s in the best interest of kids. I enjoy being part of a close-knit community with a strong philosophy of collaboration.”

Dr. Allen lives in a multi-generational home with ages ranging from 3 to 73. She’s a mom to one daughter and an aunt to many nieces and nephews, including 3-year old “baby” Amina. Dr. Allen enjoys reading, engaging in philosophical conversations, attending plays and concerts, visiting art museums, and the great outdoors.
