Arleana Waller, Founder and CEO of Frink College Prep, says she named the college after her father Willie Frink.

Rising to entrepreneurial recognition in the 1960s, Frink helped minority-owned businesses and low-income students succeed through training and mentorship.

Waller has instilled the values of her father into the foundation of the preparatory school along with her life-long mission to uplift minority youth.

Willie J Frink College Prep intends to open its doors to prospective students in 2024, but the school must first earn approval from the Panama Buena Vista School District.
