I am honored to have the privilege of serving as principal of the Uptown School Complex. As a native of Atlantic City with over 12 years of experience working in our public schools as a classroom aide, teacher, and assistant principal, my goal as principal, is to maintain a positive learning environment where all students feel safe and have the resources they need to be successful. As the demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it becomes more evident that we all need to work together to ensure that our children reach their fullest potential. I am very confident that the Uptown School Complex staff will continue to strive for excellence as we rise to this challenge.
I am looking forward to the 2020-2021 school year and to developing partnerships with parents, community members and stakeholders. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to call our main office or email me. I believe open communication is very essential in a school and encourage you to reach out and ask any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for welcoming me back into this remarkable learning community.
I take my educational responsibility to the children of Uptown School Complex very seriously. I pledge that I, along with Ms. Barnes and our outstanding instructional staff, will provide caring support, instructional expertise and dedicated commitment to nurture and educate your children while entrusted to our care.
