Houston Elementary School
Camille Townsend joined DCPS in 2005 with a desire to create a space where children can find and become their best selves! Camille's passion for education and fervent belief that all kids are capable of greatness led to her receiving the Teacher of Excellence Award at DCPS Standing Ovation in 2012. From there, Camille discovered that although she loved working directly with young people, she had a greater impact through coaching her peers as a TLI Teacher Leader (Cohort 2) and then as an Instructional Coach.
As Assistant Principal at Miner Elementary, Camille used all the knowledge and skills she's developed over her 15-plus years in DCPS to support positive growth and development for the entire school community. It is Camille's passion for education and her firm belief in young people that fuels her desire to continue to create spaces where children, and adults, can evolve into critical thinkers that can participate in and lead our growing global community.
