Principal's Message

I am honored to have the privilege of serving as principal of the Uptown School Complex. As a native of Atlantic City with over 12 years of experience working in our public schools as a classroom aide, teacher, and assistant principal, my goal as principal, is to maintain a positive learning environment where all students feel safe and have the resources they need to be successful. As the demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it becomes more evident that we all need to work together to ensure that our children reach their fullest potential. I am very confident that the Uptown School Complex staff will continue to strive for excellence as we rise to this challenge.
