[Tracey Barrett @traceyebarrett]

All this to say, Principal of the Year is yet another accolade CMA has earned that is well-deserved, but focus on scores will not give you a true sense of why this is, or how it could be replicated. Congrats, @LJackieT!!! You and @cityofmedicine are so much more than our scores.

[Melissa Leeds, RN, BSN, AEMT @MLeedsRN]

Enjoyed honoring @LJackieT today for her hard work and dedication to education with @DrDanDavis1960 @pmubenga @nakiahardy .... celebrities in our midst!
