Selected as one of only 26 academic leaders across the United States, Dr. Shaqlaih participated in a national cohort of executive-level higher education leaders. Through this intensive, year-long experience, he engaged in advanced leadership development, collaborated closely with senior higher education leaders, and gained direct insight into presidential leadership, governance, and executive decision-making at the highest levels.
An accomplished academic leader, mathematician, and educator, Dr. Shaqlaih is a tenured professor of mathematics and secondary education with a sustained record of excellence across K–20 education. His scholarly work spans mathematical modeling, educator preparation, and student success, reflecting a strong commitment to innovation, academic excellence, and the strengthening of educational systems.
We are honored to benefit from Dr. Shaqlaih’s leadership at Manara Academy. This achievement not only reflects his personal distinction but also reinforces our mission to cultivate excellence, inspire learners, and prepare future generations for success. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Ali Shaqlaih on this outstanding and well-deserved achievement.
