I loved connecting with the team in Caroline County Public Schools today!!! Their theme of "Harnessing Greatness" is all about channeling whatever it takes in order to reach Greatness in your profession and to guide students into reaching their potential.

Thank you to Dr. Sarah Calveric for the opportunity and I know that CCPS is going to have a great year!

Thoroughly enjoyed working with the Department of School Leadership for Stafford County Public Schools as they develop their leadership framework and revise the Stafford County Public Schools "Profile of a Leader."

I was so impressed with their passion for kids, their willingness to collaborate, and their overall understanding of what it takes to be a successful building administrator in today's field of education.

A special thank you to Dr. Daniel Smith, Superintendent, and Dr. Marcie Robertson, Chief of Schools, for providing this professional learning opportunity.

As we all know, the field of education has changed a lot since we were younger. Every decade that passes seems to introduce an increased political agenda into the work that is designed to improve the future for the next generation.

The question is why?

In Education Navigation I provide a strategy guide to assist every educator in navigating this new political spectrum that impacts our work.

This text is a must read and is the first of it's kind.

Coming soon in August 2026.

Last week we celebrated Jordan Maples (Hermitage) and Laila Taylor (James Monroe) as the winners of the Dr. John B. Gordon III Scholarship for two schools that are a huge part of my past. Using the basketball analogy, Jordan and Laila are the Backcourt for this year since I wanted to give back to two schools that I love.

As we continue to celebrate the graduating class of 2026 and look forward to the future, I want to recognize the three winners from Suffolk VA Public Schools who earned the Dr. JBG3 Superintendent's Scholarship. With contributions from Dr. Rodney Brown Dr. Okema S Harper Branch, Dr. Stenette Byrd III, Mr. Anthony Lebron, Bishop Hall from Balm Church, and Karen Jenkins, each scholarship winner received $1600!!! These three winners will move our city Forward and as students they are at the Center of everything that we do!!!

This year's winners are:

Layla Criner from King's Fork High School
Nathaniel Bowen from Nansemond River High School
Tanaya Thompson from Lakeland High School.

Congratulations and all of us are so proud of you!!!

It is always my favorite time of year when I get a chance to give back to the schools that I love. Several years ago I started the Dr. JBG3 scholarship at both Hermitage and (The) James Monroe High Schools.

In speaking with the principals (Dr. Jackson and Dr. Petty) we chose two students that are in good academic and behavioral standing as well as exceling in extra-curricular activities.

It is always nice when my daughter Simone gets to help me present the scholarship too.

Congratulations to Jordan Maples (Hermitage) and Laila Taylor (James Monroe) as this year's winners!!!
