Supporting Students During COVID-19
Dr Quentin Lee, principal at Childersburg, said, “As a faculty, we redefined our mission statement and vision to reflect what we wanted to achieve. Our vision was to create a nationally recognized high school that provides opportunities, challenges students and teachers and builds a legacy of excellence. We are extremely proud of this recognition but are even more motivated to achieve more for our students and our community.”
Life Changer of the Year Nominee
Dr. Quentin Lee was nominated by an anonymous colleague.
Dr. Lee is an outstanding leader, friend, confidant, principal, and comforter! Parents from his school requested and that he be transferred to their school because of his proven track record of making a mind-blowing difference among students, faculty, staff, and community wherever he goes. Students were squealing about how they could not wait for school to begin this year. They were able to view their principal as he worked tirelessly late into the midnight hours to prepare for them and welcome them back home in August. These children are quick to say, "Every student should have a Dr. Lee experience!"

Liz Anderson, head of social impact programs at Google for Education, said, “At Google, we believe in the power of educators. Technology is just a tool; it can only be transformative when it’s in the hands of an educator who uses it to create meaningful experiences for students. We’re excited to support such a dedicated group in laying the groundwork for innovative use of technology in classrooms across the country.”
TCCHS Principal Quentin Lee introduced TCCHS to the “House system,” a program employed at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta.
“This is our first year to try out the House system in the school, and so far I would say it’s been extremely successful, even as a trial run,” Lee said.
After having the opportunity to visit the Ron Clark Academy, Lee decided the House system was something his students could rally behind and enjoy.
“I was just amazed at how engaged the students of the academy were and how the school made learning more fun and interactive,” he said.
Dr. Quentin J. Lee, principal of Childersburg High and immediate past principal of Talladega County Central High, gave "words of wisdom and encouragement" to the recipients.
Lee, agraduate of Alabama A&M, began with a quote from Nelson Mandela that stated, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." He then added, "Education is the common denominator that unites us all."
Lee reminded the honorees that they were as young as they would ever be, and that their mindset is what will ultimately determine their outcome and level of success in life. Additionally, Lee emphasized to the recipients that if someone tells you that you are not working to your fullest potential, this phrase is not meant for you to fuss or argue over, but to encourage you, as a student, to refocus and set your goals and priorities on accomplishing tasks that will improve your life.
Lee concluded by sharing with the honorees the fact that "the only ingredient to a bright, secure and successful future is the attainment of a good, sound education."

During the conference, TCC educators will learn from examples of current teacher leadership efforts and be given an opportunity to share their best practices and ideas.

“We have gone from having the lowest math scores in the system to three of our grades being at the very top” TCCHS Principal Quentin Lee said. “It’s a blessing to be removed and it’s also a blessing to have two students receive their needed ACT scores to be eligible for college scholarships. Talladega County Central is not a dead school.”
Said Talladega County Schools Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Lacey, “I am always so impressed with the talent here at Talladega County Central, and my heart was filled with joy when I found out that the school was removed from ‘the list,’” she said. “I refuse to call it by it’s name because no child is ever a failure.”
TALLADEGA -- The inaugural class of Central Alabama 40 Under 40 was introduced during a special ceremony Saturday night at the Regional Family Life Center in Talladega.
Founder Kerisha Wilson said the goal of the organization is to recognize individuals “under the age of 40 who are making a positive contribution to their community and to their workplace, and who have demonstrated a commitment to giving back to the region,” which includes Talladega, Clay, Coosa, Calhoun, St. Clair and Randolph counties.
It's the Right Thing to Do
Hats off to Mr. Mark Meadows owner of the Chick Fil A on 280 in Birmingham. One of our buses broke down and 15 guys volunteered to stay back on the broke bus so that the others can get back home. Our original plans were not to stop so that limited the funds for some of the students. Our Mayor and Coach Logan were discussing paying for the students without money. The owner overheard the conversation and stepped into action. He said “No child will ever leave this restaurant hungry.” Mr. Meadows provided food for the remaining students. I thanked him personally and he was so humble. He said “ I just did what was right.” Thank you Mr Meadows for showing my students how to be a blessing to others.
Look him up... He’s a giver!
Student Success Rally
How a Principal Incorporated Visual Learning in School
Meet Dr. Quentin J. Lee.
Dr. Quentin is a principal and motivator at the Childersburg High School but managing the school is only a small part of his job. He also works to motivate students, teachers and the community, and innovate the classroom in ways to make learning a creative and fulfilling experience for every student.
He is also an avid user of PosterMyWall, and we got the opportunity to ask him about his experience with PosterMyWall and how he incorporated visual learning into his classroom. Here’s how it went down.
Let’s start with the classroom. What are your thoughts on visual learning for students?
Visual learning for students is imperative. Our generation is driven by images that have shaped how we perceive information. Students are able to associate valuable educational data effectively with images. Visual learning helps those students that may struggle with reading. It also encompasses more than just visual elements, it relies on the strengths of other styles of learning to best support the student.
So when did it all begin? How did you incorporate PosterMyWall in your job?
I started using PosterMyWall back in 2016. I used it for school publications. I was the principal of a small rural school in Alabama. We did not have additional funding for visual publications. PosterMyWall was an answer to our prayers. I made flyers for everything that our school did, and it was amazing. I even used the flyer for my daughter’s efforts as she was competing in the Miss Black USA Talented Teen Pageant for a national title. I’ve created all of our flyers using PosterMyWall. I conducted several trainings with my faculty and students regarding its use. I even presented PosterMyWall to a room of approximately 125 educators at the Dynamic Learning Project Summer conference sponsored by Ed Tech Team and Google.
How has your experience been so far?
My experience with PosterMyWall has been amazing. It allows us to present information to our students and community in a variety of ways. Each way is different than before. It is amazing to see students be amazed with their creations. I would love to share PosterMyWall with everyone as it definitely has a spot inside of every classroom in America and beyond.
What you’ve done in the classrooms is truly amazing. What are the 3 things you love the most about using a service like PosterMyWall?
- I love the flexibility of changing visual presentations to best meet my needs. I can change it to be whatever I would like.
- I love the templates that are uploaded into PosterMyWall. It provides a great start to any project. It also helps eliminate creativity blocks for the users.
- PosterMyWall is simple to use. You can create award winning visual projects in a very short time. It’s so easy to use, a caveman could use it!
Dr. Quentin was even kind enough to share some of the content he created in the PosterMyWall editor. We love all the designs and appreciate what our teachers do! A huge shoutout to Dr. Quentin for having a talk with us. Happy designing!

Talladega Optimist Club honors 48 youth from around county
The evening’s guest speaker was TCCHS Principal Quentin J. Lee, who recommended four keys to continuing education and growth: attitude is gratitude, so take nothing for granted; your past dictates your future; you are responsible for your own happiness; and tap into the power of imaginations. Think outside the box and always have a fallback plan.
