Principal's Welcome

Dear Tubman Families,


On behalf of the staff at Harriet Tubman Village Charter, I am happy to welcome you to the 2024-25 school year! We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our student leaders can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our student leaders need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your student leader’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our student leaders' success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. We ask that you guide and support your student leaders learning by ensuring that they:
