Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is with great humility that I accept the baton from Interim Superintendent Williams to serve as Interim Principal of the Centers. My goal is to continue the strong legacy that has been built—one that inspires and empowers our team to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of our students, families, and community. The dedication and compassion of our faculty and staff motivate me daily to give my very best in service.

As someone who has been part of the Center family for more than 14 years, I am truly honored to serve in this capacity. My door will always remain open for conversations about academic engagement, social-emotional support, and restorative practices. Together, we will continue supporting our families through conferences, parent universities, and timely communication.

As we close the fifth week of school, we are excited to update you on our scholars’ progress. We invite you to join us for Parent-Teacher Conferences on September 18th, held virtually from 2:00–4:30 PM and in person from 5:45–8:15 PM.

In addition, we encourage you to attend the District College, Career, and Transitions Fair on October 1st from 5:00–7:00 PM at TF South High School.

As we move forward into the rest of the school year, I remain committed to working with all stakeholders—students, families, staff, and our community—to ensure educational excellence.

This work is not about me—it is about us. Alone, little can be accomplished, but together with many hands and united effort, much can and will be achieved.

With gratitude and service,

 Dawn L. Walker
 Interim Principal
