Acting Assistant Principal Esster Maxey

It is my honor and privilege to be an educational leader for Jersey City Public Schools.  I enter this role firmly believing that all children are entitled to a high-quality education informed by their strengths, challenges, and interests while supporting their social and emotional growth.  Nurturing the whole child acknowledges that students will excel academically and thrive personally when we provide multiple opportunities to obtain academic success, emotional well-being, social skills, and physical health.  I am committed to creating an environment where students are valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their fullest academic and life potential.

Educating the whole child includes intentionally developing meaningful relationships and forging collaborations between students, families, educators, and community stakeholders.  I am dedicated to working collaboratively with students, staff, and families to create a culture and climate where every child feels safe, respected, and valued. When we prioritize open communication, participate in meaningful reflective practices, and commit to a shared vision of excellence, we will work towards creating an environment where every child is prepared for academic achievement and lifelong success.
