Welcome From the Principal
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Mt. Pisgah Middle School. This marks my fourth year as the principal of Mt. Pisgah, and I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of our students. I am excited to announce that our school is now an AVID school! We are increasing rigor for ALL students by incorporating the Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) college success system. This rigorous curriculum will close the achievement gap by exposing students to research-based instructional strategies that will develop critical thinking skills across all content areas.
Our teachers, administrators, and staff work extremely hard to ensure that we are doing what is best for students to achieve and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our goal is to establish personal and meaningful relationships with all stakeholders, in order to provide the needed supports for all students to succeed.
This year we are getting back to the basics as we S.T.R.I.V.E for excellence. We will encourage our students to Stay Focused, Take Responsibility, Respect Others, Inspire Others, Value Education, and Expect Success!
As we strive for excellence, we encourage your support and partnership.
Join us – together we can go far!
LaVonda R. Jones, Ed.S.
