Antoinetter sees herself in her students

Dear Ron,

Thank you for supporting a New Leader by providing them with a recording technology kit. Your generosity, Ron, gives a principal like Antoinette vital tools to enhance their impact on their students.

Antoinette is an elementary school principal in Memphis, Tennessee and knows the importance of a quality education. In spite of hardships and instability growing up, her schooling enabled her to provide for herself and her family. She sees herself in the students that she teaches and decided to become a school leader so she can afford them the same opportunity she was given.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Antoinette served as a first and second grade teacher for Memphis City Schools. As the instructional facilitator for an elementary school in the area, Antoinette helped guide her students to succeed on important examinations. Overall, 54 percent of the students received ‘proficient’ scores on standardized tests, a staggering 35 percent improvement from the year before.

Antoinette completed the Emerging Leaders Program last year, and is excited to start applying her learning and impacting student achievement at a broader level.

Thank you Ron for supporting New Leaders like Antoinette.
