Greetings,
Mrs. Shemia Anderson is from Caroline County, Virginia. Mrs. Anderson attended Virginia Commonwealth University, where she earned a Bachelor’s in Health and Physical Education. Following her love for sports and education, she decided to further her education and earned a Master’s in Health Promotion from Virginia Tech University. In 2017, she earned her post Master’s in Educational Leadership and Administration from George Washington University where she holds an ED.S degree.
This is Mrs. Anderson’s 19th year in education. Over these 19 years, she has been a teacher, coach, and school administrator in Caroline County Public Schools, Prince George’s County Public School, the District of Columbia Public Charter Schools, and the District of Columbia Public Schools.
My mission as an educator is to continue to assist our youth with overcoming barriers and challenges that may prevent you from achieving academic success. Early in my career, I worked to help my students/players focus on succeeding in athletics and academics to prepare them for life after high school. In my current role as a school administrator, I have found that helping those students who are off-track is even more rewarding when you see the switch flip and they finally understand what they need to do to better their academic situation. I believe that every student in Washington DC, including those who have not yet succeeded in school; will attain the academic, social, and emotional competence to excel in 21st century jobs.
