We
welcome Mrs. Darlene Hunt Mitchell as Powder Springs Elementary
School's new principal! She was born and raised in Shelby,
North Carolina. Mrs. Mitchell received a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Spanish Education from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Master of Education Degree in
Educational Leadership from Georgia State University. She
is currently working on her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree
in Educational Policy studies with a concentration in
Educational Leadership at Georgia State University.
She
and her husband, Sean, have two children named Sean Alexander
Mitchell,10, and Alexis Hunter Mitchell, 8. Mrs. Mitchell
enjoys listening to music, singing, song writing, speaking
Spanish, watching movies and traveling with her family.
For relaxation, she likes to meditate, study her bible and
exercise.
A
summary of Mrs. Mitchell's Philosophy of Education:
"I
believe education is a lifelong adventure that begins at birth
and ends at death. It is important that parents instill
this value into their children in order to create lifelong
learners who always strive for the best academically and
personally. In a school students should be able to explore
and learn in every subject. Their knowledge should be
challenged and stretched to the limits in order to create a
maximum learning environment. The best way to prepare
students for the future is to teach them how to analyze
situations and think critically daily.
Education is very important to our society and a greater value
should be placed on the jobs that teachers do for our children
everyday. We, as a society, must all work together to
ensure the best education not only for the children of today's
world but also for the children of the future. We must
look at each student individually to meet his/her needs,
creating stronger adults for tomorrow's world."
As
the new principal of Powder Springs Elementary School, I plan to
create a team that includes the students, faculty, parents, and
community. Together we can all make Powder Springs a
school of excellence that is focused on developing the future
leaders of our society.
