Today was another full circle moment as I went to the campus to work and brought my mom with me. 😂😂😂 as a retired principal and educator, I’ve been helping my mom do tasks since I was 3 y/o.
And now. It’s my turn to delegate the help 😂🤸🏾♀️😂
The tears are REAL! If you know me, you know how passionate I am about my kids, staff, and being a school leader. Blessed to accept this final recognition from

We got the prelims back from Dec. testing. AND. 100% of our Algebra 1 Retesters, who failed the EOC last school year, PASSED. Not only did they pass, but 14% of them performed at Masters level!

and Ms. Orbe. Y’all did THAT!
To those of you interviewing, please remember this world of education is ONE degree of separation.
Always be professional in your exit, even if you take another job after accepting, be upfront w/the campus admin.
You NEVER know when you will need that door to open again. 💎
I’m so blessed to have received the Associate Principal position at

will always have a special place in my heart, but I am truly thankful for the opportunity to be a Mustang!
This work is hard, leadership is hard. It’s all rewarding, but it makes things easier when you have a tribe that understands and are in the trenches with you. Love my Principal Colleagues!

My mom came to see me this weekend and help me decorate the school. I can’t help but laugh because I used to decorate her bulletin boards since I was 6 yrs old.

Monday Message:
It’s transfer season in more than one way for all educators (admin too), just remember, as you transition from one job to another….the education 🌎 is one degree of separation.
You never know when you will need that reference.
Professionalism matters 🔑
It’s Friday.

Tuesday Tip for School Leaders:
It’s hiring season. Urgency is the name of the game! As
@ToddWhitaker
advises, hiring the best staff is one of the critical components that can make or break your school year.
Be smart, be URGENT, & get the best because your students deserve it!

I needed this reminder of my why! Always good hearing greatness. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
At the young age of 18 I made one of the best decisions ever!
Pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. gave me skills that I still use in my career to this day. I bonded & met lifelong sisters that this only child didn’t have 500 miles from home.🥹

I definitely always hire for attitude and work ethic. If you have a heart for kids and solid work ethic, I can teach you content and teaching pedagogy!
As an AP & teacher I was a part of countless hiring committees & the lesson below still holds true! Most interview questions are based on skills when they should focus on attitude. Most of my mistakes in hiring involved focusing on skills when both are equally important!
It’s a full circle moment 🥹Congrats to my mom for winning Teacher of the Year!

I know very FEW teachers who can get this turnout on a Friday! When we talk about relationships and rigor, you’re witnessing it here. 💙🥹🫶🏽 Makes my heart FULL!
When the culture and expectations are set to SUCCESS! Over 20 of Mr. Hall’s PreAP students stayed on a Friday afternoon til 5:30 to prepare for their Biology EOC exam. Excellence is the standard!
A few things I don’t like:
- Complainers
- Whiners
- People who always have an excuse
I just always reflect that there’s ALWAYS someone who has a bigger battle they’re fighting, but yet still show up daily with a smile.
Misery is a choice. I’ll always choose joy. 💙
It makes me proud that all of my cousins on my mom’s side are now educators. Continuing on the legacy from our Nana and moms. 🥹
I’m SUPER PROUD of my cousin Coach Eke for leading her girls to winning the TAPPs State Title for Track!

Spring Break filled my cup! Got a chance to spend time with my loved ones-“framily” and family. 🫶🏽🥹

One of my teachers told me she’s going to drive by the school and my car better be gone by a certain time today 🤣🤣😂 I love that they make sure I’m taking care of myself 💙
