At Emery L. Fears Boys Academy our students are "Accepted as Boys. Emancipated as Men."
On September 7, 2004, headmaster D. Steven Spruill welcomed
eleven extremely bright and highly intelligent minds to E. E. Just
Collegiate Academy, the predecessor of Emery L. Fears Boys Academy.
On that date, ELFBA opened its doors to a confident and courageous
few for a host of generations to come. The original co-educational
campus was located on the corners of 5th and Q Streets in northwest
Washington, D.C. The Academy was housed in the Miles Educational
Annex adjacent to the historical Third Baptist Church. The church`s
sanctuary has been designated by the city of Washington, DC as an
historic landmark. In 2006 the Academy was renamed in honor of
Emery L. Fears, Professor Emeritus of Music, Norfolk State
University. On Monday, August 28, 2006, Professor Fears was the
Academy orator during the Opening School Convocation held at
Metropolitan Baptist Church in northwest Washington, DC, and the
inaugural high school commencement speaker on Wednesday, June 9,
2010. The Academy is continuing with its mission of successfully
educating and producing young men who are intellectual thinkers and
altruistic servants of mankind. In an effort to enhance the future
development and land growth of its campus, Emery L. Fears Boys
Academy relocated to the Metro Richmond, Virginia area in 2012.
