Administration

Mr. Domieka Cantey

Welcome to Dean B. Pruette SCALE Academy.

Home of the Eagles!

I am honored to serve as the proud principal of Pruette Academy—the alternative school in High Point serving the Guilford County School District. It is a true privilege to lead a school dedicated to creating opportunities for students to grow, thrive, and succeed.

I bring over 22 years of experience in education, having served as a middle school Career and Technical Education teacher, elementary technology teacher, district instructional technology coach, and school administrator across grades 6–12. My journey has been shaped by a passion for empowering students, building strong and collaborative teams, and ensuring every learner has the tools needed to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and a Master of School Administration, both from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I believe my background, experience, and leadership skills position me to effectively guide our school toward continued excellence.

At Pruette Academy, we firmly believe that all students can soar when given the right blend of instruction, support, structure, and care. While this may be an alternative setting, it is never an alternative to success! Our progress and success will be built on strong partnerships with families, staff, and the community. I encourage you to stay connected, stay involved, and walk alongside us in this important work. Together, we will ensure that every student soars—not just academically, but also in character, confidence, and purpose.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I value your input, welcome your collaboration, and appreciate your continued support. Let’s make this a powerful year of growth and transformation.

GO EAGLES... Let’s Soar Together!
With Eagle Pride
