Dear Ryanne, Matthew, Tracy, Jason, Lauren, Eli, Laura, Wil, Julie, Kirk, William & Tessa, Oriane, and Eric,

Thank you all for contributing to New Leaders’ Giving Tuesday Campaign! Your donation will support Noha, a principal in the Memphis, Tennessee area. Motivated by her own experience as a student in an underserved community, Noha has spent her career as an educator at Kingsbury High School in Memphis.

Noha started out as a math teacher at Kingsbury, where she taught all course levels from Algebra I to Advanced Placement Calculus. She then became a math coach that supported other teachers and student proficiency more than doubled — this made Kingsbury one of the few schools in the district to meet the Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks in mathematics.

Noha made the decision to become a New Leader in order to “be a part of the solution and the betterment of our education system, our students and our future.” She is excited about learning how to be an effective leader who sets high goals and creates a collaborative team environment to ensure that every single student at the school is being pushed to reach their maximum potential.
