Please join us in welcoming Dr. Kendria Boyd, our new Assistant Principal.
Dr. Boyd began her teaching career in 2005 with Hampton City Schools. She has worked with students in Washington, D.C. and has been serving the students of Fairfax County Public Schools since 2016 in the following roles: teacher, instructional coach for math, special education director, special education chair, and class sponsor. Her greatest initiative is to provide leadership that will facilitate an environment to meet the needs of every student to the best of his or her ability. She believes that all students should consistently be challenged to reach their fullest potential.
Dr. Boyd holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Hampton University. She recently earned her Doctorate in Education in Administration and Policy with a concentration in Social Comparative Analysis in Education from the University of Pittsburgh.
 On September 11 and 12, Mr. Stringham took 41 students from six different program areas in Edison Academy to work on completing an amphitheater-style fire pit in honor of SkillsUSA’s executive director, Tim Lawrence, for his 50 years of service. Students earned seven service hours and will have their names engraved on a plaque that will be on display at the SkillsUSA center.
IB Language and Literature/10th grade English teacher Tammarrah Addison was recently lauded on the FCPS website by one of her students for her creative approach to the “American Dream” unit that she taught last year. In part, the student wrote, “The simple outline for the topic was vague so rather than grading a paper for our final project and ending the unit there, she organized a class period for us to present our work in front of our parents. This included bringing snacks and sharing our work, ranging from reading articles to performing spoken words, giving us a chance to really shine in whatever area we chose, even if that entailed hanging up our painting and explaining the importance of it”.

Congratulations, Ms. Addison!
