We greet you with hope in our hearts, deep pride in our shared legacy, and a renewed commitment to the children and families of Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS). Together—as educational, civic, and community leaders—we stand united at a pivotal moment in our district’s journey. Our purpose is clear: to strengthen PGCPS so that every student, regardless of zip code, race, or circumstance, is empowered to dream boldly, achieve greatly, and lead confidently.
Prince George’s County is more than a place—it is a symbol of progress. For generations, we have been a proud, resilient, and trailblazing community, home to one of the most prominent and successful populations in the nation. Our county has given rise to national thought leaders, global innovators, fierce advocates, and everyday heroes. This legacy reminds us of our capacity—not only to overcome adversity—but to lead with vision, integrity, and excellence.
Our schools are the heart of our community. When they flourish, our neighborhoods thrive. When our children excel, our democracy deepens. In a world searching for models of equity, innovation, and justice, Prince George’s County has the power to be a national beacon—a place where students are not merely supported but celebrated, not merely seen but deeply known.
As we embark on the next 100 days of transitional leadership, we do so with reverence for the past and faith in the future. Our 100-Day Entry Plan will center five critical areas: strengthening
governance, advancing student achievement, investing in human capital, supporting wellness and safety, and ensuring operational excellence. But beyond plans and protocols, our greatest asset
will be you—our families, educators, students, faith leaders, alumni, and partners—who bring love, insight, and conviction to our shared work.
This is not the work of one superintendent or one board or one government —it is the sacred work of a unified village. We invite you to be part of this transformational season: join a community forum, participate in school events, share your voice, and help us write
the next chapter of our collective story. In Prince George’s County, we do not wait for hope—we create it. We do not watch change—we lead it. And we do not walk alone—we rise together.
With shared purpose and unwavering belief in our children,
