Dear C.T. Walker Families, Scholars, and Community,

It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of honor that I welcome you to a new and exciting school year as the proud principal of C.T. Walker Traditional Magnet School—a place where tradition meets excellence and every child is empowered to thrive.

As an educational leader, I am passionate about cultivating a school culture that is rooted in high expectations, mutual respect, and academic excellence. With nearly 20 years of experience in public education, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a classroom teacher, literacy specialist, and administrator. Each role has reinforced my belief in the power of strong relationships, equitable learning opportunities, and collaborative leadership.

At C.T. Walker, we hold fast to the values that define our magnet tradition: a structured, rigorous academic environment; a focus on character and leadership development; and a commitment to cultural enrichment. Together with our dedicated faculty and staff, I am committed to upholding these values while also innovating to meet the evolving needs of our students in today’s world.

Our theme this year, “Paws Up for Greatness” reflects our collective vision. We will continue to honor the legacy of C.T. Walker while equipping our scholars with the tools, mindset, and confidence to lead in a global society. From engaging instruction and enrichment opportunities to parent partnerships and community connections—our work is truly a team effort.

Parents and guardians, your involvement is vital. Whether you're supporting learning at home, volunteering, or simply encouraging your child each morning, your partnership makes a powerful difference. I invite you to stay connected with us through school events, newsletters, and open communication.

To our Wildcats: You are the heartbeat of our school. I believe in your brilliance, your creativity, and your potential. Each day is a new opportunity to grow, to lead, and to shine. Let’s make this school year your best one yet!

I look forward to the journey ahead and to working closely with each of you. Together, let’s continue to make C.T. Walker a place where excellence is not only expected—it’s celebrated.
