After a long and arduous journey, Ms. Lee arrived with her signature smile at Beckford/Richmond Elementary School in 2003. As the school received her with open arms, she shared her wisdom and knowledge of the education profession to guide the school to an “A” grade. Ms. Lee realizes that, as principal in an elementary school, she serves as an important example to all her students and conducts herself accordingly. The staff and students of Beckford/Richmond thank Ms. Lee for all she has done and encourage her to continue to provide her beacon of light to guide us on this journey of education and learning.
