Welcome to Perry L. Drew Elementary School! I am honored to serve as your principal and excited to work together to foster a thriving learning community. My journey in education has been a rewarding one, having held roles as a Principal, Assistant Principal, Paraprofessional, Elementary Teacher, and Data Coach across urban and suburban districts in New Jersey. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from William Paterson University and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Wilmington University.

For me, being a Principal is more than just a title—it’s about leading with a servant's heart. I understand that you are entrusting us with your most precious gift, your child, and I am dedicated to providing them with the tools for a successful and bright future.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family and actively serving my community through Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Additionally, I find joy in mentoring novice teachers across New Jersey.

I look forward to getting to know you and partnering together for a successful school year! Be sure to check out our monthly newsletters that are emailed to you and please feel free to reach out to me via email if you have any questions at jnallen@ewrsd.k12.nj.us.
