On this episode, Bob Miller once again steps in for Dave Schmidt to sit down with Tracy Poquette, Principal of North Frederick Elementary School, to talk about her career in education, her journey through Frederick County Public Schools and her passion for helping students succeed.

Poquette has been part of Frederick County Public Schools since 2006, beginning her career as a fifth-grade teacher at Twin Ridge Elementary. She later became a math specialist at Spring Ridge Elementary before moving into school administration as an assistant principal at Whittier Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary.

In 2017, Poquette became Principal of Valley Elementary School, where she served until transferring to North Frederick Elementary in 2020. She talks with Bob about the experiences she's gained throughout her career and what she's learned from working with students, teachers and families at several Frederick County schools.

Poquette also discusses her educational background, including a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Frostburg State University and a master's degree in educational leadership from Hood College, and how those experiences helped prepare her for a career in school leadership.

It's a great conversation about the importance of elementary education, building strong school communities, supporting teachers and students, and the dedication it takes to lead a school and make a difference in the lives of young learners.
