This month, we showcase our newest board member, Pimlico Elementary / Middle School parent Nakeya Houlton. Welcome to the Baltimore Curriculum Project (BCP) Board of Directors, Nakeya!
How did you learn about BCP and the opportunity to join the Board?
I joined the board in November. My family and I recently relocated from New York. I enrolled my son in Pimlico Elementary / Middle School. He’s currently a 6th grader. I met Pimlico’s Community School Coordinator, Theresa Braxton, and started volunteering. I learned about this opportunity through Ms. Braxton and Principal Warren. They both recommended me for this role because of my consistent involvement and dedication to going above and beyond to support the school community.
What does it mean to you to serve on the BCP Board?
I have come to truly appreciate how Baltimore City Schools prioritize parent involvement and engagement in the educational process. This opportunity to contribute as a BCP Board member is different from anything I could do in New York, where I didn’t have similar chances. Since moving here, I’ve been eager to get more involved with my son’s school and I’m excited to be here and contribute in any way I can.
