He leads with love, lectures with wisdom, and still manages to be the coolest dad in the room
Dr. Alphonso Evans, Sr. is a proud son of North Philadelphia, an educational leader, author, mentor, motivator, and above all, a child of God. From an early age, Alphonso was immersed in church life, where he sang, worshipped, and participated in youth ministries that would later shape his personal faith and professional calling.
Raised by his grandparents from birth, Alphonso was nurtured in a close-knit household grounded in love, resilience, and community. Though his grandparents had limited formal education and financial resources, they gifted him with a fierce love for learning and a deep reverence for God. Dr. Evans often credits “The Village” for raising him, and he carries that spirit of communal investment into everything he does.
Educated in the Philadelphia Public and Parochial School Systems, Alphonso earned his undergraduate degree from Temple University and went on to receive his Master’s and Doctoral Degrees in Educational Administration, along with Principal and Superintendent Certifications, from Gwynedd Mercy University. Over the past 25 years, he has served in nearly every capacity of educational leadership, from teacher and coach to Principal, CEO, Assistant Superintendent, and consultant.
Dr. Evans lives by the scripture found in 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This life philosophy has guided him in creating innovative pathways to success for young people, especially within underserved communities. He remains committed to reinvesting in the neighborhoods that once poured into him.
In 2017, Dr. Evans authored his first children’s book, Tell Them They’re Great… I Dare You, an affirmation-centered work designed to uplift and inspire youth. In 2022, he released his second book, Taking the Risk… Meet Your Father, a deeply personal and powerful call to rebuild and reclaim the relationships between fathers and sons. Both works reflect his heart for healing, family, and generational restoration.
As proud as he is of his educational accomplishments and published works, Dr. Evans is most honored to serve God and walk in partnership with his wife, Dr. Tamika Michelle Evans. Together, they are raising two remarkable children, Alphonso Jr. (AJ) and Jordyn, who represent the living legacy of their love and purpose. Dr. Evans joyfully acknowledges that every good and perfect gift in his life comes from above.
