That's a wrap @unccharlotte officially a graduate for the 3rd time. The last four years have been a journey with moves both professionally and personally, a new baby, and principalship. Thankful and blessed. Ed.D Educational Leadership and Superintendency #2024Grad

Enjoyed celebrating the last 4 years of hard work last night. Third graduate degree, third time receiving a 4.0 GPA. This time with some added challenges: new baby, mom of 4, three school changes, new construction, and principalship. Now let's graduate! @unccharlotte @CLT_COED

So honored to be a finalist for the @StanlySchools Principal of the Year. I was honored to be considered as a 2nd year Principal. Thank you to a district who allows me to grow and supports me along the way. Very blessed!

#Principal needs your help. Challenged students to raise more $ than top earner for #Boosterthon $ for upgrades to classroom, technology, and a gym makeover! Your donation could keep me from camping out on the roof https://t.co/GpbwS9f5qH Picture of me getting slimed today.

On Monday I had the honor of presenting my dissertation research at the 5th annual @CLT_COED Education Research Symposium. I absolutely loved sharing my passion for teachers, specifically international DL/It teachers. Graduations officially getting close!

Today I drove a mini bus full of our next leaders. Principal Advisory Committee headed to Raleigh to meet with @RepWayneSasser a former @WildcatsSES ! We learned so much. Don't worry, our future is in GREAT hands with these young leaders! @StanlySchools @jarroddennis

I hate to leave, @NewHanoverCoSch are you hiring? Thankful for the opportunity to get "filled" not only professionally but mentally. Walking this morning and finding a waterfront spot to work remotely before heading back. Wilmington is beautiful. @NCPrincipals

Great job today @gregory_elem on your panel discussion around Global Leadership in your school! I am so excited to launch our program with @ParticipateLrng soon at @WildcatsSES . Thank you for sharing! @NCPrincipals

In Wilmington for @NCPrincipals Early Career Principal session. Session 1 @casas_jimmy bringing the heat. Always ready to get back in my building after his sessions. Shifting To Do-To Be. @StanlySchools

This week at our @StanlySchools principal meeting @jarroddennis gave me a little something to add to my desk. So appreciative of a district that recognizes your accomplishments and celebrates with you!

It's official... Dr. Merritt! Thank you for everyone who supported me and pushed me to keep going! @unccharlotte @NCPrincipals @StanlySchools

Sub jobs did not get filled for our PD today. It is essential your teachers feel effective in their classrooms and continue growing themselves professionally! Today I was Mrs Merritt 3rd grade sub then shifted it to k sub. Empower your staff, get in classrooms, ❤️ on students!

Always thankful for support and empowering our amazing teachers! #TheWildcatWay @StanlySchools

Great first day here at @PinehurstResort gearing up for more learning and growing as an administrator tomorrow

From tlnwilkinson on X: Stealing awesome ideas like this is the best part of social media. Best morning work ever!! Would you try this in your classroom? 🤔

I always ❤️ when friends come to visit! Thank you Drew for your support, insight, and resources to help us stay on track and give our students (and staff) what they need! Always thankful for "friends in high places" 😉
