Dr. Keedra Whitaker

Principal

Welcome to Weldon Elementary Global Academy  where every day is a great day for teaching and learning.  My name is Keedra Whitaker and I am the proud principal of Weldon Elementary Global Academy.  I am a 10-year veteran educator, and previously served as an assistant principal, instructional coach, and elementary teacher prior to becoming the principal at Weldon Elementary Global Academy. At Weldon Elementary Global Academy, we truly believe that all students can learn and grow academically, when provided with the right learning environment and instruction. I am an advocate for Global Learning, Restorative Justice Practices, and Research-based Instructional Strategies.  As an innovative Pre-k through 4th grade Global Academy it is our desire to build globally competitive scholars and to provide all of our students with a platform for leadership development.   We would like to welcome you to visit our school and ask that you stop by the office, sign-in, and get a visitor's pass.  This  provides us with the opportunity to welcome you properly to our school, while ensuring a safe and productive learning environment. We welcome all stakeholders as partners in education, and look forward to working with each and every one of you as we "Charge into Excellence." Again, welcome to Weldon Elementary Global Academy, where everyday is a great day for teaching and learning and thank you for visiting our website.

Mrs. Johanna Parker

Administrative Intern

Greetings Charger Family!

My name is Johanna Parker and I am excited to be part of the Weldon Elementary Global Academy team this year. I would like to welcome you back to what will surely be a great school year! As a Masters in School Administration Candidate with the Northeast Leadership Academy (NELA) at NC State University, I have the pleasure to work alongside the administrative team this year as the Principal Resident. I’m honored to work with you to ensure all our students have access to a high quality education.

I come from a science and literacy background and taught 5th grade at Weldon Middle School. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and ESL from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. I grew up in a military family and have lived all over the world. Due to my experience attending so many different schools, I’m a firm believer that learning should be fun and engaging for all students. As an aspiring school leader, I’m open to ideas and feedback. I’m so excited about our new global focus and working with you to make WEGA the shining star on Washington Avenue. It’s going to be an amazing year!
