Welcome Miner's New Administrative Team

7/19/2017

 
On July 19, 2017, Miner's new Interim Principal, Mr. Bruce Jackson, sent the following letter to Miner's families and community:
Dear Miner Elementary School Community,

I am excited and honored to be joining the Miner Elementary School family as the interim principal. My hope for our work together this year is that we can build on the great things already happening at Miner Elementary School and ensure our students excel in every way.  
I have already heard so many good things about Miner and I cannot wait to get started by meeting as many members of the school community as possible.  Over the next few weeks I will be reaching out to extend opportunities for meet and greet events so that I can begin to hear all of the hopes we have for Miner this year.  

As Chancellor Wilson stated in his letter to the community, I have most recently served as a Mary Jane Patterson Fellow at Charles Hart Middle School.  Prior to that I have served as an educational aide, teacher, special education coordinator, and assistant principal at Walker-Jones EC, MacFarland MS, Garfield ES and Cardozo EC.  I received my Bachelor’s degree from Westfield State University in Massachusetts, the state where I was born and raised, before moving to Washington, DC to complete my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at American University.  I am truly humbled to serve in this new role at Miner Elementary School for the upcoming school year.    

I firmly believe a leader is only as strong as the team they work with and therefore I am excited to announce two new additions that will be joining me on the leadership team at Miner:
​
Camille Anderson will serve as the school’s new assistant principal.  Ms. Anderson comes to Miner from Ketcham Elementary School where she has served as an instructional coach during School Year 2016- 2017. In addition to the Instructional Coach role, Ms. Anderson has also served the district as an RTI Coach, Teacher Lead, and Teacher at Ketcham Elementary School. Ms. Anderson received her Bachelor’s in International Relations from Mount Holyoke College and her Master’s in Teaching from American University. 

As some of you know, the current MSL, Ms. Flores, will be transitioning to a different DCPS School. We thank her for her service at Miner and wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor.  As a result, I welcome Dr. Simon King who will be joining Miner as the Director of Strategy and Logistics for the campus. Most recently, Dr. King has served as the Director of Strategy and Logistics at Walker-Jones Education Campus. Prior to joining DCPS, Dr. King worked as an assistant principal with Prince Williams County Schools in Virginia. King received his Doctorate in Education Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, his Master’s in Education Leadership from Old Dominion University, and his Bachelor’s in English from Talladega College.  
 
Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Anderson and Dr. King to the team.  All three of us are eager to get to know the school community and join with you in providing a dynamic education for all of our scholars. 

Please consider joining us for an informal meet and greet event at Miner Elementary School on July 26th.  I will be hosting a Popsicle with the Principal event on the playground at Miner from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.  Please bring your family out and enjoy a cold treat along with some music and fun.  We will reach out with additional opportunities in the near future!  Feel free to contact me at bruce.jackson@dc.gov with any questions.    
  
In Service,

Bruce W. Jackson
Interim Principal
Miner Elementary School
