TEMPE, Ariz. – Grammy-award-winning artist Pitbull is opening a new, tuition-free public charter school in Tempe.
According to original statements on plans for SLAM Arizona, the school was supposed to open at 305 E. Main Street in Mesa – an address that is perhaps rather appropriate for Pitbull, who sometimes goes by Mr. 305, but we have since learned that the campus has since been relocated to the area of Martin Lane and Apache Boulevard, in Tempe.
The term SLAM, according to the school’s website, stands for “Sports Leadership, Arts & Management.” The school is part of Pitbull’s SLAM! Foundation. According to its website, the non-profit represents 12 public charter schools that serve over 5,500 students in K-12 in Florida, Nevada, and Georgia.
