Principal Brian Jones is An Experienced Educator

Principal Brian Jones, most recently of Guilford Elementary/Middle School in his native Baltimore City, Maryland, is an experienced educator who has worked in several struggling and failing schools in his long career, helping establish new modes of education and success everywhere he goes. Jones graduated from the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico with a Bachelor’s degree in English as a Second Language. He earned this degree in Puerto Rico despite moving there before he knew a word of Spanish.

Principal Brian Jones used his degree to teach students in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood, helping students freshly-arrived from the Dominican Republic and elsewhere adjust to their new environment and learn as much as they could in school. Jones used his skills in communication, specifically with Spanish-speaking children, to build his career from there and eventually become the principal of several schools in his career. Educators with specific communication skills are invaluable to the education systems in which they work because teachers and administrators often struggle with some of the more marginalized children in their communities.

Principal Brian Jones is bilingual and ready to help students succeed in every facet of their educational lives. He has helped many students find solutions that work for their situation.
