Welcome to the 2020-2021 virtual school year! I am excited to serve as Principal of Lucille M. Brown Middle School for the fourth year! I am committed to ensuring that we focus on student success. We believe that each and every student has a gift to share with the world, and we work hard to unlock their highest potential. We have high expectations of our students, and expect all students to uphold our school vision- to become caring and respectful individuals who inquire, learn, reflect, and take action to better our global society! I ask for your continued support all through the school year to help us reach our academic goals. Your encouragement and engagement makes a huge difference. Please continue to be involved in your child’s studies, continue to build relationships with our teachers, and continue to engage with the entire Richmond middle school community! Our children are counting on us! It is a privilege to be a part of this community and I look forward to our continued collaboration!

Dear #RPSStrong Family, Tonight's updates: ReopenWithLove2.0 "See It to Believe It" Update – This week's update is about HVAC improvements. Check out the video below of the new HVAC unit going into Miles Jones Elementary School. This new system will significantly improve air quality and is much more environmentally friendly than the previous one! ReopenWithLove2.0 Teacher Welcome Baskets – As a small token of our appreciation, we're putting together welcome baskets for our teachers when they come back this fall. If you'd like to help, here are two ways to do so: You can donate school supplies or other goodies for the baskets by filling out this form. Keep in mind that you don't need to provide enough for every teacher! We'll determine the most appropriate grouping of items once we have all donations in hand. You can also volunteer to help assemble or deliver baskets by filling out this form.
