School Board Honors Molino Park’s Woodward As Principal Of The Year
August 20, 2014
Molino Park Elementary School Principal Alice Woodward was officially recognized Tuesday night by the Escambia County School Board as the Escambia County Principal of the Year.
Following a standing ovation, Superintendent Malcolm Thomas lauded Woodward’s many accomplishment at Molino Park.
“She always finds a way to put students first,” Thomas concluded.
“I am definitely humbled that I was the one chosen to receive the award this year. I work among a very talented and dedicated group of principals,” Woodward said. “I am receiving the principal of the year award not because of the things I do, but because of my staff, the fruits of my staff, my parents, my students, my community continually striving for excellence.”
Just a year ago, Molino Park was recovering from a break-in and the theft of about $60,000 in technology, and the school was rated as a “C” by the Florida Department of Education. Now, Molino Park Elementary is an “A” school with a 95 percent proficiency in math — among the highest scores in the district and state.
“Research says that what people hear last is what they remember most,” Woodward told the school board. ” So I say to you, to God by the glory, for it is from Him all blessings flow.”
Also Tuesday night, Janet Penrose of Belleview Middle School was honored as the Escambia County Assistant Principal of the Year.
