WELCOME TO THE 2012-13 SCHOOL YEAR
Welcome
to our Mandarin High School Website. We are honored that you chose to
visit us and find out more about our wonderful Mandarin school. My name is
Dr. Donna Richardson and this is my fourth year as the principal of
this outstanding academic institution. I have been a DCPS educator for 28
years, to include: serving as an English teacher for 10 years at Forrest
High School, as a Dean of Girls at Terry Parker High School for 2 years, as
a vice principal at Ribault High School for 5 years, as a vice principal at
Ed White High School for 1 year, as a principal at Baldwin Middle-Senior
High School for 6 years, and now as the principal of Mandarin High School
in my fourth year. I have a true understanding of the entire District and
enough experience and education to lead our school to continuous academic
improvement and excellence.
I am
also a product of the Duval County Public Education System myself, having
attended North Shore Elementary School, Kirby Smith Junior High School, and
Andrew Jackson High School. Upon graduation from high school I stayed
right here in Duval County and received my A.A Degree from FSCJ, my BA
Degree from U.N.F., my M.A. Degree from U.N.F., and my Doctorate’s Degree
in Educational Leadership from U.N. F. in 2003. With these credentials
under my belt it is my privilege to serve the young people of Duval
County. I am a true civil servant who only wants what is best for the
present and the future of this great city in which we all live.
We are
