Dear Hampton Family, 

Welcome to your first year at Hampton Middle School.  I am excited to start my first year as principal at Hampton Middle School and embracing the change.  Our teachers and staff are looking forward to meeting and working with our students, parents, and community members.  We strongly believe our families are an invaluable part of our school community.  Hampton will continue to be a school community where we value diversity, differences, and make decisions that address the needs of our students.  When our students walk through the doors, the administration will make certain that your child’s learning is active, engaging and challenging.  

I began my teaching career in New York City Public Schools and later moved to Virginia to work as a 7th Grade Math Teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools. After two years of teaching in Fairfax County, I decided to continue my career as an educator in Prince William County Public Schools.  The 2016-2017 school year will be my sixteenth year as an educator in Prince William County. I began my career in Prince William County Schools as a middle school math teacher at Beville Middle School. In 2004, I was appointed Assistant Principal at Stonewall Middle School and in 2006, Assistant Principal at Beville Middle School. In August of 2008, I served as Principal at New Dominion Alternative Center and for the past five years, Principal of Mills E. Godwin Middle School. This year will be my first year as principal of George M. Hampton Middle School. My goal as your principal is to create a learning environment where students grow in knowledge, teachers actively engage students in learning, and parents continue to be our partners in education.

George M. Hampton Middle School is an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program school which provides a rigorous, high quality education, challenging students to excel in their studies, and encouraging both personal and academic achievement. The aim of the IBMYP Program is to develop internationally minded students who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help create a better and more peaceful world. IB learners strive to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. These IB learner profile represents 10 attributes that can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national, and global communities.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be part of your children’s education. Each of us will do our very best to create a safe and enjoyable, whole-child focused learning environment for each student.  On behalf of the entire staff and faculty at Hampton Middle, we are looking forward to partnering with you and your child during the 2016-2017 school year.  We hope to see you at Back to School night and other school activities.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.  We look forward to another great year of learning.

Sincerely,

Jehovanni Mitchell
