Meet Our Principal

Dear Ánimo Legacy Families and Supporters,

I am Jasmia Newman, very excited Principal of Ânimo Legacy! I am honored to assume the role as Principal and welcome the charge to make educational equity and anti-racist practices a true reality at Ánimo Legacy. I am thrilled to bring my experience and love of learning to our school community. 

Not only am I excited to work with children, but also I look forward to building a deep relationship with all our stakeholders. I understand middle school can be a time of great change, but it is my hope that with the knowledge and skills of our stakeholders we will be able to navigate that change together as partners in students’ education. 

Despite the troubling times in our world right now, our scholars are very fortunate to be in the presence of positive role models at Ánimo Legacy. The staff at Ánimo Legacy are compassionate, caring, and dedicated. As a way to ensure we foster open communication, build community and stay connected, I want to invite you to stay connected. Check our website, Facebook, Ánimo Legacy Charter Middle School and Instagram, @animolegacy, for quick updates and virtual events. Again, I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve your school community and begin building meaningful relationships to help our scholars grow. Please feel free to reach out and connect with me at any time. I look forward to meeting you all soon. 

Together in the work, 
Jasmia S. Newman 
Principal
