Her B.S. is from Slippery Rock State University in Secondary Education/Communication Arts and her M.S. in Social Work is from The University of Alabama.

FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards

The FCPS Outstanding Employee Awards program celebrates the efforts and accomplishments of exceptional school-based and nonschool-based employees from throughout the district. Nominations are accepted from colleagues, supervisors, students, and parents. Please join us in celebrating the Eagle View staff members who were nominated.   

Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee

Ms. Barbara Palencia

“I was lucky enough to have met Ms. Palencia at school during class events and during a class field trip. Each time, I watched her as she garnered the attention of the students with such poise, calmness and patience. Based on my observation, I know she loves her students so dearly.

Outstanding Teacher Nomination

Ms. Ginger Albertson

Ms. Albertson has a wealth of knowledge on how to build relationships with our students and understand their needs, their hopes and their dreams. She works tirelessly to advocate for all children and helps staff meet their needs.”

 -Eagle View Colleague

Outstanding New Principal

Ms. KJ An

“What makes Mrs. An sparkle and shine is her ability to connect with students, families, and colleagues. It has been amazing to see how many community members, former Eagle View students, families, and teachers began visiting the school to welcome her back home. It is remarkable to hear how much she remembers about her former students - their strengths, family members, funny stories about them, and their interactions with other students.”
