Assistant Principal

Jumela Evans

It is with great honor and privilege that I accept the role of your newly appointed Assistant Principal. I bring with me 17 years of experience in education. Since 2018, I have been dedicated to Edgecombe County, starting as an 8th-grade social studies teacher at West Edgecombe Middle School. Over time, I transitioned to roles such as Instructional Coach and, most recently, K-8 Literacy Specialist. 

I am genuinely excited to collaborate with parents, our students, and our staff at South Edgecombe Middle School. I am dedicated to supporting our school’s mission and vision through continuous partnership and community building. Here’s to a fantastic school year—let’s make it the best one yet!

Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors!

Game On! Year of the Dragon!

Educationally yours, 

Jumela Evans, Ed.S
