Meet Our Assistant Principal Parks

Mrs. Letia Parks

 

My name is Letia Parks. I am from North Philadelphia and grew up attending schools in the School District of Philadelphia. My teachers and experiences in school growing up are my driving force behind why I chose to become the educator that I am today. I attended Temple University (2003-2007) and received a BA in Secondary English Education. I have always wanted to affect change in our schools therefore I attended Cheyney University and received a MA in Education Administration in 2012. I taught 7th and 8th grade ELA for 9 years before becoming a Teacher Leader. My hope has always been to change the deficit mindset of teachers with the goal of disrupting the educational inequities experienced by our students. I have 3 children of my own and when I think about their education I want to be confident that they are receiving the best education possible and that their teachers truly believe in their ability to learn.
