Vision and Mission
Who We Are:
Jenkins Middle School has a longstanding and a continuous tradition of offering award-winning programming that engages and supports all students to achieve excellence in the area of academics, athletics, performing arts, and extracurricular activities.
What We Do:
Our mission is to provide a nurturing and empowering educational environment where every student can thrive. We foster safe, inclusive learning spaces that promote social, academic, and emotional growth; we instill a lifelong love of learning and promote character development, preparing students to become responsible and compassionate citizens of the world.
Where We Are Going:
Our vision is to be a dynamic and forward-thinking middle school that prepares students to positively contribute to an ever-evolving global community. We are committed to creating an environment that encourages self-discovery and resilience, equipping our students with the skills, knowledge, and character needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
My educational philosophy is simple; as an educational leader, it is imperative to create an environment where students feel safe and cared for and, as a result, are willing to take academic risks and work to reach their full potential. I believe it is essential for educators to know and understand each student as an individual so that a specific learning plan can be developed to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of each and every student.
In addition, a key component for success of any school requires the collaboration of parents, guardians, staff, and community members to work together in supporting our students in the educational process. As a team, it is important to provide programming that maximizes the students’ learning experiences and inspires each child to reach his or her highest potential.
As an educational leader, it is imperative to actively listen, observe, and gather information from all stakeholders on a continuous basis. With open and continued communication with all stakeholder groups, one can foster a collaborative environment where all students develop intellectually, social, and emotionally. To maximize any educational program, it is optimal to maintain trust, respect, and open communication. Together, working as partners with parents/guardians, the community, and teacher groups, we can put the needs of our students first.
