A Message from the Principal

 

Greetings P.S./M.S. 124 School Community,

It is my honor and privilege to serve as Principal of this outstanding school community, where together we strive to “be the change we wish to see in the world!” (Mahatma Gandhi)

I truly believe that every child in our school community deserves a champion, and it is my life’s work to ensure that I carry out this mission daily.

At P.S./M.S. 124, our foundation lies in the high expectations that we set for our students and staff, so that we can prepare our scholars academically, socially, emotionally, and physically to engage in global opportunities and experiences, while also highlighting the importance of what it means to give back to those around us. Our instructional priorities were developed as a school community to prioritize a student-led classroom, where students are afforded the opportunity to engage in a culturally responsive curriculum, which means that they can see themselves and their personal experiences within the content of their learning. Attention to equity will always be at the heart of our decision making.

In partnership with all of our students, staff, families, and community partners, we will continue to strive for excellence, because that is what our students truly deserve!

Maritza Williams Jones

Principal
