Sabriya K. Jubilee

Sabriya K. Jubilee, Ph.D. is the Chief of Equity, in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. In this role, she provides leadership and guidance, setting the overarching vision and organizational structure to advance equity in the School District of Philadelphia.

Prior to this role, Dr. Jubilee held a number of positions during her 12 year tenure with SDP; including, Data Specialist, Research Assistant, School Improvement and Data Specialist, Director of Special Projects, Executive Director of School Improvement, and Deputy Chief of Equity. Throughout each position Dr. Jubilee has been a transformational-agent committed to systemic change through a lens of equity.

Seeing equity and social justice work as recompense for her existence in this world, as a Black woman raised in the city of Philadelphia, Dr. Jubilee is all too familiar with what it means to be “other.” As such, she believes it is her obligation to continue this work, started long before her, of dismantling systems of oppression.

A native of Philadelphia and graduate of the District, Dr. Jubilee holds a B.S. in Animal and Poultry Sciences from Virginia Tech with a minor in Black Studies, a M.A. in African American and African Studies with a concentration in Education from The Ohio State University, a M.Ed in Educational Leadership from Gwynedd Mercy, and a Ph.D. in Urban Education from Temple University.

In addition to her roles at SDP, Dr. Jubilee serves as an adjunct professor of Urban Education and Sociology.
