Principal's Corner

Welcome Home, Dragon Families!

Can you feel that incredible energy in the air? A brand-new school year is officially here, and I couldn't be more excited to welcome you back to Andersen Middle School, the proud Home of the Dragons! Whether you're a familiar face returning to the nest or joining our Dragon family for the very first time, we are absolutely thrilled to have you with us on this epic adventure. I'm Dr. Shanida Threatts, and it is my absolute joy and honor to serve as your principal!

At AMS, we don't just support our military-connected students and families, we celebrate you! Your incredible resilience and commitment inspire us every single day. As we dive into a year full of discovery, our mission is rock solid: we are here to ignite a passion for learning, engage every mind, and empower every student to conquer our ever-changing world!

This year, we're taking things to the next level with the DoWEA Blueprint for Continuous Improvement. We're focusing on four powerhouse pillars: Student, Instructional, Service, and Organizational Excellence. These pillars guide our efforts as we push our boundaries, reach for new heights, and ensure every Dragon is prepared for success.

Student Excellence: This is all about unlocking the limitless potential in every learner. Through engaging academics and a strengthened Student Support Team, we're providing the tools and encouragement every student needs to thrive.

Instructional Excellence: Get ready for world-class teaching! Our educators are committed to delivering relevant, rigorous lessons that transform curiosity into critical thinking and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Service Excellence: We are partners in this journey! We know you are your child's first and greatest teacher. By working together through open communication and strong relationships, we'll create an exceptional educational experience for every student.

Organizational Excellence: We are moving forward! AMS is embracing new technology and innovative practices to ensure our school remains a dynamic environment where every student can succeed.

Being a Dragon means understanding that excellence is a lifelong journey. Together, let's build a culture where every student feels empowered, connected, and inspired to pursue their goals. This year is filled with opportunities for leadership, achievement, and memories that will last a lifetime!

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's story. I look forward to partnering with you to make this an outstanding school year filled with growth, success, and Dragon Pride.

Dragon Pride Starts Inside! Home of the Dragons!

Respectfully,

Dr. Shanida Threatts
