Hello and welcome! My name is Marion Solomon, and I have the absolute joy and privilege of teaching 7th grade English Language Arts here at Baines Middle School. In addition to being an ELA teacher, I proudly serve as the 7th grade team lead, working alongside a fantastic group of educators to ensure our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

I earned my Bachelor's and Masters from Lamar University, and I began that journey  after graduating from Dulles High School. I also have the honor of being a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., an organization founded by seven trailblazing educators who embodied excellence, service, and sisterhood—values that continue to guide me both in and out of the classroom.

I am a firm believer that every student has the potential to succeed; especially when they are supported in a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment. My classroom is a space where curiosity is encouraged, voices are valued, and learning comes to life through engaging discussions, creative expression, and meaningful connections to the real world.

This year, I am especially excited to pour into my students, not just academically, but holistically. I’m committed to helping them find their voice, grow in confidence, and build the critical thinking and communication skills they’ll carry with them for years to come.

Here’s to a year full of growth, collaboration, and amazing memories.
