Dear Parents, Families, and Friends of New North Middle School,
As we prepare for the opening of the New North Middle School, I am excited to announce that Megan Vroman has been selected as Principal. She is looking forward to welcoming the inaugural class of New North Middle School to a new school in a newly modernized building for the 2019-2020 School Year! For almost four years at West Education Campus, Principal Vroman has worked together with the school’s community to create a world class education for PK3-8 students. Our vision is to inspire and empower lifelong learners by addressing their academic, social, and emotional needs, and we are so excited Principal Vroman will be at the helm of this work for the new middle school.
Megan Vroman has dedicated her life to serving and providing high quality educational experiences for students. She served as the founding principal of Uplift Mighty, a public charter school in Texas, where she served for two years before moving to D.C. After her transition, she supported school leadership teams at a charter network here in the District. She was selected to lead West Education Campus in School Year 2015-2016. In School Year 2016-2017, West EC doubled the city average in growth on PARCC scores in both ELA and math, and increased student satisfaction from 78 percent to 93 percent.
As a former middle school teacher, Principal Vroman is committed to and deeply believes in the importance of a strong middle school experience. She understands that the role of educators is not only to prepare scholars for the academic rigor of college and beyond but also to develop citizenship and social skills that empower change agents for the community and the world. Principal Vroman earned her bachelor’s degree from Texas Christian University and a master’s in education from Arizona State University. She also holds an Executive Master’s in Leadership from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
I look forward to supporting Principal Vroman and the entire New North family in preparation for next school year. As Principal Vroman transitions to her new role next month, please contact me via email at drewana.bey@k12.dc.gov should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Drewana Bey
