Leader testimonials 

Tahiana Lamb, Assistant Principal of Instruction, Mann Elementary

“Education is my passion.What I love about my role is supporting teachers with the best teaching practices that lead to student achievement and growth. Mann Elementary educators and I work together to teach every student based on their individual learning needs while students are being pushed to their greatest potential and beyond.”

Nicholas Wilson, Assistant Principal of Instruction – Humanities, Hardy Williams High

 

“As an assistant principal of instruction, there are three aspects of my job that fill my cup most. First, I get to serve our families by giving them confidence that our school is going to strive to be consistent with doing right by their children. They’ve put a lot of trust in us, and that’s a responsibility I feel more conviction and motivation for daily. Second, I can contribute in tangible ways to fortify a school community deeply invested in empowerment, impact, purpose, and love. I know that when I show up with that top of mind, heart and actions, and celebrate those same qualities in our staff, it inevitably permeates throughout our building and reaches our kids. Third, I have the autonomy to make positive changes. I have the opportunity to translate my values, convictions, dreams, and philosophy in a very actionable way. When I see problems or opportunities – there’s almost always something I can do about it. That’s very fulfilling for me.”

Jeena Joy, Assistant Principal of Instruction – Elementary, McGraw Elementary

“Despite only working with Mastery for a short period of time, I know that I made the right decision to join a network that truly believes in their leadership and their capabilities to make great educators. I feel cared for and invested in, and I am constantly learning and growing! I love collaborating with my team, other leaders across the network, and my teachers. Everyone has a true love and passion for education, and I feel like I can be a lifelong learner with Mastery.”

Brandon Cooper, Assistant Principal of Instruction, Pastorius-Richardson Elementary

“Mastery stands on a mission that states, ‘All students learn the academic and personal skills they need to be truly prepared for postsecondary success and pursue their dreams.’ I believe teachers learn the skills they need to become stellar educators at Mastery. I returned to the very place that taught me how to teach and lead well. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to lead and share my expertise with teachers that are all in and fully invested in the lives of our students.”
