Executive Leadership Team

Pitts, Mrs. Tamara Turner, Mrs. Shelbia Wiley, Mr. Diya Williams and Ms. Willetta Cunningham are members of this team.
You will notice we do not use the titles of traditional public schools, such as principal or curriculum coordinator. Very little that we do is “traditional”! We have a unique team with a unique challenge to do something different—for different results. Our administrative team meets weekly to plan, problem-solve and innovate. The team also meets weekly with all teacher team leaders for the same purpose.
Our respective titles and areas of responsibility are:
