Welcome to Northwest Guilford Middle School,
It is my pleasure to serve as the principal at Northwest Guilford Middle School. I have been a part of the Northwest community for several years serving as the principal at Oak Ridge Elementary since 2011. I love being a member of this community - where parents and teachers work together to serve our students and build positive relationships that allow students to reach their full potential.
I have served as a teacher and principal in Guilford County Schools since 1994. I was a 2nd and 4th grade teacher before becoming the principal at Peeler Open School for the Performing Arts in 2004. I then served for five years as the principal at Greensboro College Middle College before becoming the principal at Oak Ridge during the 2010-2011 school year. It is very exciting to begin a new chapter in middle school! I am excited to see my former Oak Ridge students, but I am also eager to meet our other students who are from the additional feeder pattern elementary schools.
Northwest Guilford Middle School is an excellent school with a staff dedicated to providing all students with active, relevant and meaningful learning opportunities! We aim to strengthen character and foster respectful citizenship each day where our Vikings S.A.I.L. - Show Responsibility, Act Respectfully, Invest with Integrity and Live Responsibly! I look forward to working our staff, students, families and the community!
Respectfully,
Denise Francisco
