A Message from the Principal
Tiger Pride. Tiger Nation.
“Martin Luther King, the school which holds all memories. For young and old, and many more to come.”
I count it a true honor to be entrusted to lead the school where I got my start! As the new principal of Martin Luther King Jr. Academy, I am encouraged by fond memories of my time here as a student. I look forward to creating new memories with our students, staff, parents, and community as a whole.
As we embark on the 2024-2025 school year, I would like to encourage us all to accentuate the positive and build on it. Positivity in our actions and interactions, positivity in our thoughts, positivity in our words, and positive gains in our teaching and learning. In positive environments, wondrous things are possible!
In every story of success, there have also been trials. Our story is no different. I am, however, personally encouraged that our trials will soon yield great success, if we put our PAWS (Positive, Awarding, Welcoming, and Safe) on it! Our PAWS will serve as a guide for everything we do this year, including new programming, community engagement and resource sharing, after school enrichment, and much more. With great anticipation, I am eager to embark on this journey. I ask for your full support, volunteerism, and positive encouragement for each student and staff member as we make strides towards a great year filled with even greater memories.
Tiger pride runs deep for me, and I am overjoyed to reintroduce it to those under my leadership and care. If it is still within you, please stand with us and extend your PAWS to ensure that it remains for generations to come!
-Ms. Shameika Johnson
Principal
