Meet the Administration
Dear Natchez Middle School Families,
Welcome to a new school year!! My name is LaTanya Dunbar and it is my honor to introduce
myself as the administrative principal for Natchez Middle School. I have had the opportunity to
build relationships with many of you over the years during my time as an administrator at
Robert Lewis Magnet School.
It is my goal for Natchez Middle School to be an exciting, kind, and safe place for all our
students. I want you to know that I am fully committed to our school by ensuring that all students
are equipped with academic, social, and emotional skills to transition to high school as
confident and successful learners.
I encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education. Students whose parents are
involved in their education are more likely to achieve at high levels . Together we can create a
school experience where your child can be inspired to excellence.
My door is always open to discuss any concerns, questions, or ideas you may have regarding
your child’s education.
In closing, I look forward to working with Natchez Middle School parents, students, community
and stakeholders.
and stakeholders.
Respectfully,
LaTanya Dunbar
