Portia Green’s Bio:
Portia brightens the halls of Prichard Preparatory School every day with her optimism, energy, faith, and contagious smile. Portia’s journey began as a school parent, volunteer, teacher, executive director, and now principal.
Portia’s path to the school’s leading role was a natural progression, as students and colleagues fell in love with her leadership style and genuine affection and compassion for her students and staff. Aside from increasing the school’s enrollment, Portia had led the initiative to get Prichard Prep accredited through the Alabama Independent School Association, an accreditation that must be renewed every five years. Under Portia’s leadership, Prichard Preparatory School was recognized as a 2023-2024 Blue Ribbon School with the Alabama Independent School Association. Portia is a graduate of the University of Mobile, and Columbia Southern University.
Portia has received numerous awards and recognition including Mobile Bay’s 40 Under 40, and the 2024 Nappies Best Private School Principal Award, and the YASS Prize National Award. Portia serves on the Alabama Independent School Association board, and volunteers with the Girls Scouts of Southern Alabama and her church.
Portia has been married to D’Alo Green for 20 years, and they have three children together.
