Welcome Letter

Dear Ernest Everett Just Community,

Greetings! I am Dr. Charnita Whitmyer and it is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this letter to introduce myself as the new principal of Ernest Everett Just Middle School. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to lead such an esteemed and well-respected school community.

I have been an educator for more than 23 years, and I bring a wealth of experience to this role. Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing a positive and supportive environment that empowers students to achieve academic success and develop personal responsibility. 

As the new principal, my top priority is to create a school culture that prioritizes the well-being,safety, and success of all children. I believe that every student has unique talents and strengths, and my goal is to create a learning environment that encourages students to build upon their existing skills and knowledge while providing new opportunities to learn and grow. I also believe that communication and collaboration are key components in forming strong partnerships between the school and our community.In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting students, staff, and parents and learning more about your experiences, aspirations, and ideas for our school. 

I will be hosting a Meet and Greet on Thursday, August 8th, 2024 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.  Please RSVP for this event at Karen.Sampson@pgcps.org or call us at 301-808-4040 by Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.  

I am confident that this new school year brings the promise of a renewed dedication, focus, and energy to the mission of teaching and learning and through our  shared commitment to student achievement we will develop children who are: more resilient, stronger thinkers, more unified, and better equipped to handle the ever-changing landscape of our society. 

Educationally Yours,

Dr. Charnita Whitmyer
Acting Principal
