Dr. Mack's journey in education began in Prince George's County, where she taught grades K-3. In 2003, Dr. Mack moved to Howard County and served as a Middle and High School Reading Specialist, Secondary Reading Resource Teacher, and High School English Teacher. In pursuit of her commitment to professional growth, Dr. Mack recently completed her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Bowie State University. Lake Elkhorn Middle School holds a special place in Dr. Mack's heart, as it was both her home and her children's home for eight years earlier in her career. Returning to the school as Assistant Principal is a joyous reunion for her. She is excited to contribute to Lake Elkhorn's rich legacy of educational equity and work collaboratively with the students, families, and staff to support a nurturing and inclusive learning environment.
