Hello Jones Jaguars,
It is a great privilege for me to become part of this amazing community as principal. I have heard so many positive things about the fantastic learning opportunities provided at Jones. I am excited to work together with the staff, students, and parents to continue cultivating a thriving environment for learning and growth for all students.
I will share a little about me. I am a wife (BJ) and a mother to two wonderful children (Brooke 15 and David 9). I have worked within Guilford County Schools for the last 23 years in various capacities: Classroom Teacher, Impact Teacher, Curriculum Facilitator, Assistant Principal, and Principal. I love education and learning! I hold a Doctorate in Educational Leadership (Ed.D), an Educational Specialist Degree with Superintendent Licensure (Ed.S), a Masters of School Administration (K-12), and a Bachelors in Elementary Education all from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I was also a National Board-Certified teacher.
I believe in building a close-knit community through strong relationships with everyone involved. Delivering high-quality education and enriching experiences for every student is my priority, and I am eager to witness the excellent teaching methods that are already being implemented.
I am excited to get to know all of you better as we begin this amazing adventure of learning and development together through the fantastic programs offered at our school. Our journey promises to be filled with new opportunities and experiences that will help us grow and succeed. I am eager to see the wonderful things we can achieve together through hard work and dedication. Let's embrace this journey with enthusiasm and a positive mindset, ready to learn and make progress each day.
Warm regards,
Dr. Shanta Buchanan
