It is a privilege and an honor for Mrs. Angelina Byrd to continue serving the James Patterson Elementary family as the new Assistant Principal. Throughout the duration of her career in education, she is pleased to say that she has served the Patterson community since it’s opening in August 2017. She’s had several opportunities to serve in various instructional capacities at Patterson as a 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade teacher. She’s also served as Campus Math Specialist, Professional Learning Leader, TAPP Mentor and Team Leader. This experience has continuously nurtured her strong desire to help teachers and students by building their capacity and confidence in becoming the best representation of themselves. Mrs. Byrd has a love of learning, a love of learners, and a love of bringing the two together. This love of learning includes initiating long-lasting relationships with students, teachers, parents, and members of the community. Mrs. Byrd’s educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that all students can learn with the right support in place. This support begins with establishing and maintaining good, positive, and long-lasting relationships with all stakeholders.

Mrs. Byrd is originally from South Carolina. She received her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from South Carolina State University, Masters of Curriculum and Instruction from University of Texas at Tyler, and Principal Certification from Lamar University. She is a proud mother and wife and enjoys spending time with her family. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, and learning new things that will expand her skills.

She looks forward to continuing to nurture and maintain the longevity of established relationships with the JPE community and forming new long-lasting relationships with people who are new to the community.
