A Message from Principal Bradley
Hotep Families,
The time for us to ensure our scholars have the best educational experience is now. We have urgency in making sure all our scholars feel safe, valued, seen, heard and challenged. As we are now coming off a year like no other, we are so excited to welcome everyone back to school and learning. We are very clear that you are the first and most important teacher for all children and our job at the school is to make sure we are supporting critical learning to compliment all your hard work!
We lead with love and servant leadership. That means we need you, we respect you and we recognize that love is an action word. We hope you feel it as you come to visit, come for clarity or even with a complaint. If we can all believe that we begin with great intentions we can solve anything!
This is my 5th year at Bethune and so much is happening! This year we begin our year long modernization project which will make all classrooms brand new, and we get our playground! These are very exciting new projects which will give us a brand new feel!
For our new families we say welcome! For our returning families we say thank you for choosing us again! May we work together to make this the best year yet. Remember, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune has ordered us all to “Enter to learn, and depart to serve”!
In Service,
Principal Bradley

Dear Bethune Bears,
I am so excited to begin my ninth year as your assistant principal. I hope that your summer was relaxing and rejuvenating. The beginning of a new school year reminds us that the future holds infinite possibilities. I look forward to continuing our focus this year on teaching and learning so that our students graduate college and career ready. I am here to serve this community of learners and to help support ALL students in finding their voice in order to appropriately advocate for themselves and others.
Have a wonderful 2022-2023 school year!
