GREETINGS, 

I AM KENYATTA THOMAS, ONE OF THE NEWEST EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION TEACHERS HERE AT GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. ALTHOUGH I AM NEW TO THE EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION TEAM, I AM NOT NEW TO EDUCATION. MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW ME FROM MY 5-YEAR ROLE AS AN ENGLISH TEACHER AND JOB SPECIALIST FOR JOBS FOR VA GRADS AT GW, OR MY ROLE AS A SPECIAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONAL PARAPROFESSIONAL AT FOREST HILLS ELEMENTARY. WITH MY VARYING ROLES, I NOW HAVE A COMBINED TOTAL OF 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH DPS.  

I AM A NATIVE OF DARLINGTON, SOUTH CAROLINA AND ATTENDED MAYO HS FOR MATH, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY WHERE I BEGAN WORKING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL ELA CLASSROOMS AS AN INTERN. AFTER GRADUATION, I ATTENDED VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND EARNED A BA IN ENGLISH WITH A CONCENTRATION IN EDUCATION. I AM ALSO CURRENTLY PURSUING A MASTER'S OF EDUCATION IN SPECIAL EDUCATION FROM AVRETT UNIVERSITY. I HAVE ONE DAUGHTER AND 2 FURBABIES THAT ARE ALL VERY SPOILED! I ENJOY TRAVELLING, TRYING NEW RESTAURANTS, AND VISITING THE BEACH. 

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH A GREAT TEAM OF ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF, PARENTS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU, THE STUDENT!
