Why did you choose to work in education? "Every job that I've ever held involved working with young people in some capacity. I was an undergraduate psychology major and considering a career as a clinical child psychologist. I went to a Saturday session about careers in psychology and learned for the first time about the field of school psychology. I was immediately drawn to the idea of supporting young people's mental health, behavioral, and academic needs in an environment where they spent the bulk of their time. I spent about ten years as a school psychologist before moving to the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion." - Get to Know Alyson Mitchel, Coordinator of School Climate and Culture

"My humanitarian values push me to elevate individuals and communities, ensuring that every student has access to the opportunities they deserve." - Get to Know Regina McLendon, Principal, Oakland Mills Middle School

"I chose education because I saw the need for people like me in the field." - Get to Know Trumaine McCaskill, Assistant Principal, Oakland Mills High School #JoinTeamHCPSS #GetToKnow

Best professional advice? "To remember your purpose." - Get to Know Christine Hyun, Assistant Principal, Northfield Elementary School
