Two new Chairpersons have joined the Cabinet.
As Principal, I have recommended the following for hire to the Board of Education:
• One Assistant Principal
• One Clerical worker
• One Security Guard
• Four Cleaners
• Fifteen Teaching Assistants
• Twenty-Two Teachers
During my time as Principal, tenure has been granted to five teaching assistants and eleven teachers. We have had ten staff retirements. Samples of work include:

SCHOOL CULTURE AND INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
Department Chairs ensure that the curriculum is taught in each content area. The Assistant Principals and District Chairs work to ensure that the projects that are created follow the guidelines for each exploratory/elective class.
Scholars who make the quarterly Honor Roll and Principal’s Honor Roll have their names displayed outside of our guidance office and receive a certificate during homeroom. These scholars may also be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) at the end of the school year. Eighth-grade scholars with a cumulative average of 84.5 will be recognized with a Presidential Award (Silver or Gold) at their Awards Ceremony.
All teachers hold contractual tutorials weekly. For scholars requiring remediation, we have extended day tutorials and peer tutoring. For scholars who learn differently, we have several clubs available for them to join.
Grade-level assemblies and events are held to teach about different cultures. Some of the assemblies we have held include Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, and Pride Month. Samples of work include:
• National Junior Honor Society Photos (View Visual Portfolio)
• Assembly photos (View Visual Portfolio)
