MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL  
I am so proud to be a part of this district and to have spent most of my career here.  After having served 35 years as an educator, 34 in Cobb County, the time has come for me to retire from my position as principal at Simpson Middle School and spend time with my family.

My entire adult life has been spent educating students in Cobb County, and all my years have been both happy and fulfilling.  I will take with me many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever.
I have had so many opportunities in my career.  I have served as a business education teacher at Awtrey, North Cobb, and McEachern; LSS (pre-ALT’s) at McEachern; administrative assistant and assistant principal at Harrison; assistant principal and associate principal at Osborne; and principal at Simpson.  I have worked with many of the educational giants in Cobb’s history, from my first principal, Kermit Keenum, to Fred Sanderson.  Along the way, I have also worked with Jill Kalina and Lynda Martin.  I have learned from these fine people and many others.  Not many people can say they have had such a fulfilling career that has lasted so long.  I am glad I have had the privilege of serving our young people.
It has been a pleasure to serve as principal of Simpson Middle School.  I’d like to express my appreciation to all the staff at Simpson.  I am proud to work with all of you, and I am continually amazed at the wealth of talent on our faculty and staff.  I am extremely blessed to be able to call Simpson my “second home.”  I truly thank you for what you do for our students and for each other every day.  You are the BEST!! 
A special thanks to my administrative staff for their support and encouragement.
Parents, thank you for your continued support of our students and community.  You are one of Simpson’s greatest assets.  It has been a pleasure working with all of you.

Sincerely,
Sharon Jordan, Principal
