Virginia Espree

Dynamic and results-oriented School Administrator with over four years of experience in developing and executing impactful academic programs. Expertise in enhancing academic performance and teacher effectiveness while fostering a positive school culture that engages Prekindergarten through 8th-grade students. Proven track record includes successful implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), achieving a 30% weekly reduction in behavioral incidents, alongside the introduction of innovative educational initiatives promoting academic excellence and holistic child development. Committed to leading staff through data-informed practices, ensuring compliance with federal policies, and creating a safe, student-centered learning environment that supports the success of all students.

As a school leader, I recognize that strong community relationships are essential to fostering student success. I actively engage with military commands, families, and local organizations to build a network of support that enriches the educational experience and strengthens school culture. I intentionally seek out partnerships with families, community organizations, and local businesses to create a collaborative environment where all stakeholders feel valued and involved. These partnerships not only enhance student learning but also contribute to a sense of belonging and shared purpose within the school community. To promote student-centered community involvement, I encourage military members to volunteer in classrooms and school events, and I personally serve as an administrative volunteer at athletic and extracurricular activities. These efforts help bridge the gap between school and community, reinforcing the importance of civic engagement and teamwork. One of the most impactful initiatives I led was the “Second Cup of Coffee” forum—a space where parents are invited to share their perspectives, ask questions, and collaborate on strategies to support student achievement and well-being. This open dialogue fosters trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
