Dr. Tammy Campbell is an inspirational leader who has supported our growth and the development of a district strategic plan. She facilitated a planning process that continually involved all stakeholders - scholars, staff, families, and community members. Throughout this process she continually emphasized the importance of elevating scholar voice. As a result, our building and district leaders have been intentional to regularly create spaces to listen to our scholars’ experiences.
