Founded by former NBA player Chris "Flight" Wright, this innovative campus aims to transform the lives of youth through a powerful combination of sports and education. "Using sports and education to stabilize communities." This mission statement encapsulates Wright's vision for Flyght Academy, a comprehensive sports, life, and leadership campus that he calls "Flyghtwood." Wright envisions this becoming more than just a facility he sees it as a community where people will one day proudly say, "I live in Flyghtwood" or "I grew up in Flyghtwood."
