Mrs. Joyce Whitehead

Hi, my name is Joyce Whitehead! I am a graduate of Shaw University with a Bachelor's in Social Work. My working experience with children and families has been enlightening. I believe this year will be a very successful and rewarding school year!

As educators, we are to find what works for our children and bring out the best in them for success. My responsibility is to support the students in making sure they are fully equipped emotionally, socially, and academically based on individual needs.
