Principal’s Corner | Meyer Levin Middle School, Brooklyn

Service. Excellence. Community

As your principal, I passionately serve Meyer Levin’s exceptional scholars, their families, and the staff. True leadership empowers others to find their voice and evolve into the leaders they were born to be. My primary focus is activating the village to create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where students can spark innovative ideas, explore their passions, and discover their unique talents during a crucial stage of their educational journey. I encourage engagement and participation from parents, the community, and staff. Every perspective is valued as we work together to shape a vibrant learning experience that fosters student success in character, civics, academics, the arts and sports.

This is what makes us the best middle school in Brooklyn.
