The Harlem native, approached Capital Preparatory Schools in 2011 with the idea of opening a school in his hometown. Over the next five years, Mr. Combs worked with the founder of Capital Prep, Dr. Steve Perry, “to build community support and enlist a team of educators, parents and business leaders to bring the idea to fruition.”
