National Principals Month: Gina Johnson
To celebrate National Principals Month, we’re sharing some fun facts about our amazing school administrators. Today you’ll learn more about Mrs. Gina Johnson, principal of C. M. Washington Elementary School.
Here’s the inside scoop on Mrs. Johnson:
🐾 She has been a principal for six years.
🐾 She says the most rewarding part of being a principal is seeing the growth not just in test scores or data, but in the confidence, character, and potential of every student. It's the little moments that make the biggest impact. It's seeing a student who once struggled walk into school with confidence and determination. It's watching a teacher try something new and seeing it light up their classroom. It's hearing a parent say, "Thank you for believing in my child." Being a principal isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. “I get to be part of something that truly changes lives, and that's a gift I don't take for granted.”
🐾 Her favorite subject in school was reading because every story was a new adventure.
🐾 Her favorite school lunch is pizza.
🐾 One item on her bucket list is to meet Coach Prime in person.
🐾 Outside of work she enjoys walking and watching football.
🐾 Fun Fact: She’s a huge Prince fan and had an opportunity to visit Paisley Park in Chanhassen, MN.
