         As an educator with a wide range of experience in both public and private schools, the opportunity to lead Yeatman-Liddell Middle is quite powerful because there is so much promise. To the school community members that I have had the pleasure of meeting so far, thank you for your warm and genuine greetings. Yeatman is blessed to have caring and dedicated educators and community members focused on academic excellence, personal accountability, and being the very best we can be as a school community. Everything that we do at Yeatman is centered around this statement:

          As we begin a new chapter at Yeatman, we are committed to broadening learning opportunities beyond traditional classroom walls. From 6th - 8th grade, our curriculum is challenging, integrated, inquiry and project-based and our students will embark on a rigorous and relevant learning journey to know themselves and discover what opportunities lie ahead for them. Our pre-college prep academic program promotes mastery of content and in the skills and attitudes that are increasingly necessary to live and thrive in the 21st century: social skills, commitment, critical thinking, creative problem solving, flexibility, and communication. From academics, athletics, or the arts, our faculty and staff guide our students to discover and develop their own strengths and passions through unique experiences, challenges, and encouragement, and the school supports their efforts in a student-centered and professional environment.

          Our partnerships with community organizations and business partnerships enhance our school, bring real issues to life, and encourage our students to be participants in the greater community, and ultimately in the world at large.
