From the Principal
August 9, 2022
Dear Parents/Guardians:
My name is Dr. Lisa M. Marion-Howard, and I am the proud principal of Engleburg Elementary School. I have worked for the Milwaukee Public School District for the past thirty years as a teacher, learning coordinator, assistant principal, and principal. I have spent the past thirteen years of my career serving as the principal of this fine school. I strongly believe my coursework, research, and collective work experiences as a teacher, instructional leader, and business manager has thoroughly prepared me for my work as a professional educator.
I am excited about the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. I plan to work aggressively in partnership with parents and staff to promote our students’ academic and behavioral achievements. In fact, our school goals for the 2022–2023 school year are to increase student achievement in reading, writing, and math by 10% or more, maintain at least a 93% student/staff attendance rate, and end the school year with a 0% suspension rate. I will ensure that all staff strive daily to ensure that students read fluently at their grade level/instructional level, demonstrate effective writing skills, solve math problems by applying knowledge of number facts/strategies, and behave appropriately as they engage in the learning process and navigate throughout our school community.
Although we may experience a few challenges as we embark upon our amazing learning journey, because nothing worthwhile is ever easy, I am certain if we possess open-minds, maintain willing hearts, and keep lines of effective communication open, we will experience success together! Please know I have an open door policy, and you are always welcome.
I look forward to seeing your children (and you) on the first day of school rested, energized and ready to welcome a successful academic school year at Engleburg Elementary School. We are a school family in full partnership with both parents and community. Thank you for making Engleburg Elementary School your “School of Choice.” We will work closely to make OUR children receive the best education possible!
Sincerely,
Dr. Lisa Marion-Howard, Ed. D.
