Today was a great day. I presented my AP BENCH portfolio highlighting the experiences I’ve engaged in throughout the year to prepare me for my next journey. Special thanks to @mdcps_profdev and my Assistant Principal mentors for their support and guidance throughout this process.

Small group remediation and collaboration @CarolCityElem ! These Baby Chiefs are working on multi-step word problems! 🖤🧡

Proud moment for @MDCPS! For the first time in our history, 9 schools in predominantly Black & Brown communities have earned an “A” rating — a milestone reflecting resilience, dedication, and community pride. This achievement is more than a grade. It’s a testament to the perseverance of our students, the commitment of our educators, and the support of our families. Together, we are rewriting expectations and shaping brighter futures for all. Read article: bit.ly/3Kwmvwg #YourBestChoiceMDCPS

ETO-supported schools have reached their highest success since the program began—22 schools earning the top grade! This shows the power of focused support, strong leadership, and school communities that never give up. #YourBestChoiceMDCPS
