As a Bridge Fellow with The New Teacher Project, Marvin Pierre developed an alternative education program that became Eight Million Stories. His program became a reality and now aspires to upend the school-to-prison pipeline in Houston by supporting previously incarcerated youth as they re-enter school, curbing unnecessary referrals from schools to the justice system. Previously, Marvin served as the assistant principal at KIPP Polaris Academy for Boys in Houston and was dean of students at Excellence Boys Charter School in Brooklyn, NY. Before pursuing a career in educational leadership, Marvin worked in finance at Goldman, Sachs & Company. Marvin was recognized by the Houston Business Journal as a member of the 2022 40 Under 40 Class and was recently named to the 2023 Black Changemakers Program.
