Meet the Administration

Greetings Susie B. West Elementary Students, Parents and Stakeholders!

I would like to welcome you to Susie B. West Elementary School. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve as your instructional leader for this school year. This year our theme is, “Leaping Into Learning!” We will ensure that your students’ young minds are given the basic foundation and are equipped to matriculate on the next level.

 

Early childhood education is paramount to a child’s educational foundation, therefore, I am confident we have the right people in the right seats on the bus at West to prepare our students to be able to succeed. I have been in education for 22 years and with my experience, I have learned that it definitely takes a village to raise our children. With that being said, I invite you to share in the experiences of your children’s education and let’s make our home-school connection a great one.

 

Serving in Natchez-Adams School District for 10 years, Memphis City Schools, Shelby County Schools, Wilkinson County Schools, and the Catholic Diocese of Jackson for a total of 22 years, has given me the experience to work with children and adults in multiple capacities. I am a 1997 Cathedral High School honor graduate, received a B.S. in Biology from Tougaloo College, M.S. in Elementary Education (2001), M.A.T. (2003), and BSN (2015) from Alcorn State University, and PhD from Jackson State University in Educational Leadership & Supervision in 2007.

 

Warren Bennis said, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” My vision for this year is that we “Leap into Learning” with 100% commitment and dedication for our students at Susie B. West Elementary School, therefore that vision will translate into reality and our students will be truly successful.
