Venture Into Our Learning World

Introducing Our Principal, Mrs. Margul Retha Woolfolk

M. Agnes Jones Elementary has been a part of this thriving community for many years and proves to be an integral part of the West End of Atlanta, GA. Mrs. Woolfolk is no stranger to this community and comes to M. Agnes Jones as our new leader in 2008. Her professional experience includes extensive work in the Atlanta Public Schools system as a Model Teacher Leader/Education Specialist, Instructional Specialist and classroom teacher. She has also served as an MRESA/APS reading endorsement instructor, a Content Seminar Leader for the new teacher project and a consultant for a major text book company.

Mrs. Woolfolk comes to Jones with an extensive education and personal enrichment, carrying a B.A. in Economics from Spelman College and having certification and personal endorsements from such fine institutes as Harvard University, Georgia State University and Brenau University. She is currently working on her Ph.D in Language and Literacy at Georgia State University.

As a leader, Mrs. Woolfolk has high expectations for students, teachers and herself. She reflects this leadership role by prescribing to Thomas Crane’s, “The Heart of Coaching” description of a leader as a coach, facilitator, servant, role model and visionary!

Student success is her number one focus and her personal goal is to ensure that every child’s academic and emotional needs are met. Her philosophy is to treat every student as though they were her own. 

 In her own words:

 “I gave birth to 3 boys but now I have approximately 500 boys and girls and feel personally responsible for each of them!”
