"Where
Every Child Experiences Success"
Mrs. Shilene
Singleton, Principal
From the Pen of the
Principal
First of all, I would like to welcome all of the Jefferson Davis
Middle School family back for the 2009-2010 school year. As
principal, I look forward to serving all of the wonderful students,
parents, teachers and staff members that have worked hard to make
our school such a successful place. It has been my experience that
when an entire school community works toward common goals great
things happen. Based on these common goals we have established a
theme for this school year: “Jefferson Davis Middle School, where
every child experiences success!”
My personal life experiences have played a huge part in preparing me
for the task of leading our great school. Ironically, I started my
career in public education in a different capacity serving the needs
of students. Inspired by some of the great teachers there, I took a
leave of absence and enrolled in college courses. Although working
part-time and raising two daughters, I was able to accomplish my
goals of earning a college degree in psychology and exceptional
student education.
Knowing that I wanted to help build world-class schools, I continued
my education with a degree in educational leadership from Nova
Southeastern and became an Assistant Principal within four years of
becoming a teacher. In my new role as an instructional leader of an
urban campus I was thrilled to see that our school experienced
tremendous academic gains. These gains would not have been realized
without every student, parent and teacher working together.
One of the most exciting aspects of public education is the great
relationships that are built through our work of helping others. I
look forward to working with all of you make our school a place
where “every child experiences success”.
