I am proud to serve as the Interim Principal of Sarah Scott Middle School.\u00a0 As I start my 30th year in education, I have dedicated my career to helping students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.<\/div>\n

I started as a classroom teacher and have had many different roles, including Behavior Interventionist, Behavior Interventionist Coach, and Assistant Principal in our school corporation.\u00a0 In each position, I have focused on building positive school cultures, supporting teachers, and ensuring that all students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn.\u00a0 I believe\u00a0strong relationships between students, families, and staff are the foundation of a great school.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am excited to continue building on the strong traditions of Sarah Scott Middle School and am committed to making it a place where every student can grow, achieve, and feel a true sense of belonging.<\/div>\n

Whitney Tharp<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]\n
It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the newly appointed assistant principal at Sarah Scott Middle School! I am incredibly honored to have been chosen to work alongside Mr. Thoma to lead at SSMS. During my 13 years in education, I have been an administrator, data coach, an RTI coordinator, and taught grades 5-7! I also coached middle school volleyball for many years. As a lifelong learner, my hope is that my efforts will inspire every student at SSMS to reach for the stars.<\/div>\n
I look forward to meeting you throughout the school year! If you have any questions or need some assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s have a great school year!<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]CONTACT:\u00a0<\/strong>
