Selethia refuses to count out studetns from the low-income bracket

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign! Your contribution supports Selethia, an elementary school principal in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Selethia refuses to count out students who live within a low-income bracket; she believes in their ability to learn at high levels.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Selethia was an assistant principal in the Charleston County School District in Texas. She taught English Language Arts (ELA) and reading to seventh and eighth graders, and then moved on to become a school counselor and finally an administrator. During her time as an ELA and reading teacher, her students were able to achieve a 93 percent pass rate on Texas state exams.

Selethia wants to lead by example and demonstrate that anything is possible so long as teachers, parents and community members work together to ensure all students are receiving a top-notch education.

Thank you all for choosing to support our children’s education through Selethia and New Leaders.
