October is National Principals Month, and Richmond Community Schools is proud to recognize and celebrate our dedicated school leaders. Principals play a vital role in shaping the educational experience, and we are fortunate to have such outstanding leaders guiding our district.
Our principals are more than building leaders—they are champions for students, partners with families, and advocates for staff. Every day, they:
Support Students by creating safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environments where every child is known, valued, and challenged to succeed.
Empower Staff by fostering collaboration, providing encouragement, and ensuring teachers and support staff have the tools they need to inspire student learning.
Strengthen the Community by building partnerships, connecting with families, and representing Richmond Schools with pride and professionalism.
Please join the Board of Education and I in extending a heartfelt thank you to our principals (i.e., Ms. Mangune, Mr. Gibson, Ms. Marella, Mr. Knight, Ms. Szabo, and Ms. Borwick) for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to our district.
