It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly appointed Assistant Principal of Mason Clark Middle School. I am honored to have the opportunity to join a school community with such a rich tradition! Over the past 23 years, I've worked as a classroom educator, professional school counselor, and administrator. My years of experience have afforded me opportunities to work with a variety of students' ranging in age from kindergarten through high school.
As I prepare to transition into the MCMS community, I am reminded of the following quote: “Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best that they can possibly be” Rita Pierson, Educator. Along with the classroom educators, faculty, and staff, I will work hard to continue the legacy of success established at Mason Clark Middle School by building strong relationships with parents, students, and community partners. My goal will be to ensure that all students are safe, happy, and healthy so that they can learn as much as they can. We will focus on character education initiatives, Common Core skills, the use of data to drive instruction, and to provide consistent implementation of the curriculum in a rigorous manner so that we can continue to increase all of the students’ achievement.
My colleagues and I are eager and excited to begin the academic year! We will work to continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections. It is important that everyone who steps through our doors-students, educators, and parents-are excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to stop by, call, or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.
Yours in partnership,
Dr. Syreeta Holland
