Orange
County Public Schools celebrates the announcement of its 2018 Assistant
Principal of the Year, Jackie Ramsey, being named a finalist for Florida
Department of Education Assistant Principal of the Year. Ms. Ramsey is the
assistant principal for instruction at Carver Middle School. She has worked at
Carver for just over one year. She brought with her great leadership experience
after working at Chain of Lakes Middle School, as well as Dr. Phillips and
Freedom high schools.
Jackie
Ramsey is data driven and has opened the doors for underrepresented students to
take advantage of advanced, honors, and dual enrollment course opportunities.
In her first year at Carver she has quadrupled the number of students enrolled
in high school courses and tripled the number of students in state tested
accelerated courses.
Ms. Ramsey’s belief that all students
can succeed when given the opportunity is at the core of her educational
philosophy, “My commitment is evident in consistent improved student
performance and growth, increased access to accelerated coursework by
underrepresented students, and cultivation of programs to encourage families to
trust and invest in their community schools.”
The
winner will be named during the Florida Commissioner of Education’s Summit for
Principals on February 9 in Orlando.
