Welcoming a New Proud MJP Principal
Ms. Maisha Rounds
Dear Michael J. Perkins School Community,
I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Ms. Maisha Rounds as the principal of the Michael J. Perkins Elementary School effective July 1, 2019. Principal Rounds’ appointment is the culmination of a rigorous screening process with participation by members of the Perkins School community, including staff and parents. Ms. Rounds currently serves as the Assistant Principal of the Lawrence School in Brookline.
Ms. Rounds has had a long and successful career in elementary education as a teacher and leader. The team noted Ms. Rounds has deep instructional knowledgeand background as both a general and special education teacher, along with her facilitation with and orientation toward data driven instruction. She spoke passionately about the importance of deep family engagement and ways in which she has creatively brought families in as partners. Finally, the team was excited by how she presented a balanced approach to leadership, which I am confident will support the Perkins on its continued successful trajectory.
Ms. Rounds began her career teaching at the elementary level in her native South Carolina. During her time in the classroom, she attained National Board Certification and was named South Carolina Teacher of the Year. She and her family moved to the Boston area two years ago when she entered the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she received her master’s degree and principal licensure.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Rounds as she assumes this position of leadership at the Michael J. Perkins Elementary School. I also thank Mr. Martin for his leadership during the past six years and his commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful leadership transition. With the full support of all of us at the Boston Public Schools, I am confident Ms. Rounds will continue to advance the great work of the Michael J. Perkins Elementary community on behalf of our students.
Sincerely,
Laura Perille
Interim Superintendent
