Meet our staff

Dear Whitman Families,

I am truly grateful to be part of the Walt Whitman Elementary community. It is a joy and an honor to serve as your principal and to work alongside such a dedicated team of educators, supportive families, and incredible students.

With over 20 years in education, my passion has always been creating a school environment where every child feels seen, heard, and supported. At Whitman, I see that vision come to life every day through the strong relationships, joyful learning, and commitment to excellence that define our school.

I remain dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and academically rich environment for all students. I deeply value our partnership with families and believe that working together is the key to helping every student thrive. My door is always open, and I welcome your thoughts, ideas, and involvement.

Thank you for your continued support and for making Whitman such a special place. 

Warmly,
Mrs. V. Smith
