Irving said he has plans to move the school into a new building by 2023, but is still trying to learn everything else that comes with financing a school. His vision is to keep the school’s basketball prominence at its highest, while not letting the academics falter. When James opened his I Promise school in Akron, Ohio, he called it the most important thing he’ll do in his career. Irving feels the same way about his work with his alma mater. “It’s at the top of my list, making a social impact in the education space,” Irving said. “… When I was a kid, I was in that same position. We didn’t have the best gym, we didn’t have the best facilities, we didn’t have the best education, but now I’m in a position to impact it. I’m going to do it.”
