Welcome to the George Washington Carver Elementary School! It is a tremendous honor to serve the Carver community as Principal! I love serving this great community and treasure the positive relationships with the staff, parents, and students. Carver is truly a special place. I am overjoyed to be in a position to positively impact the lives of students and teachers. My vision for Carver is to continue to build an ideal school environment where students feel safe, comfortable, challenged and engaged in class (whether that is in person or online). Students and staff will celebrate core values and each other. Teachers will feel supported in their teaching and inspired to try new things. Teaching and assessments will be standards-based, instruction will be data-driven, and collaboration will be purposeful. Diversity will be celebrated and culturally responsive pedagogy will be our way of work. Our school campus will stay impeccably clean and beautiful, parents will be involved in school activities and classrooms, and teachers and parents will work collaboratively to support their students. I will be in the classroom (or in Zoomland) “where the action is” in order to support the teachers, students, and to assess the needs of the school, and of course, where students will achieve academically at high levels. My goal is that together we can make all of these characteristics of an ideal school happen successfully again at Carver this year. Only together is this possible. I thank you for taking on this challenge with me to benefit and support your child and his/her experience at Carver. Thank you for being a part of the Carver family.
