Assistant Principal's Message




Dr. Darlene Herbert  Assistant Principal


I am filled with great enthusiasm as I embark on another year as the Assistant Principal of Dresden Elementary School.  It is both an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Dresden community, and I am excited to continue working alongside you all.  This year, I look forward to partnering with our new principal, Dr. Pells, and the entire staff to uphold our tradition of providing an educational experience that celebrates values, inclusion, and diversity.
I bring over 20 years of experience in education to this role, having served as both a teacher and an administrator.  Prior to becoming an administrator, I worked as a classroom teacher, Early Intervention teacher, and Academic Coach.  My passion lies in communicating and collaborating with teachers, parents, staff, and our community stakeholders.

Please know that I am dedicated to working closely with Dr. Pells as we continue to provide leadership and build strong, collaborative relationships within the school and community. Our goal is to ensure that every student has a variety of opportunities to succeed.  I encourage you to schedule an appointment with me or stop by to discuss how we can make this year a success for our children.

I look forward to meeting with all of you!
