Dear Eagle Families,

It is my privilege to introduce myself as the incoming Assistant Principal at Pioneer Middle School. My educational journey spans over 27 years, encompassing roles such as Math and Science teacher, Department Chair, Science Coach, and Intern Assistant Principal. I am excited to support Mr. Pappas in his leadership to ensure an outstanding academic year for our students.

My academic background includes a degree in Biology from Dillard University and a Nursing degree from Barry University. I further honed my leadership skills with a Master's in Educational Leadership, also from Barry University. On a personal note, I am the proud mother of Kevin, my greatest source of joy and support. He is a Nova High School graduate, UCF alumnus, and is currently pursuing his doctoral studies at Saint Leo University.

The middle school years are a critical phase in a student's development, marked by significant growth and self-discovery. Alongside our dedicated staff, I am committed to equipping our students with the necessary skills for success, establishing a strong foundation for their high school years and beyond. Our mission is to prepare each student for their future academic and professional endeavors while making a meaningful, positive impact on their lives.

I look forward to working with you all. Let’s Go Eagles!

Best regards,

Ms. LaSondria Young, 7th Grade Assistant Principal

8th Grade Family,

First and foremost, I want to welcome all 8th graders to another year at Pioneer Middle School, and I cannot wait to meet all of you. For students that are entering Pioneer for the first time, I look forward to assisting you anyway I can. Upon entering sixth grade, many of you were anxious about middle school. Now, you have made it to the last year of middle school. Many of you will be most likely to be anxious this time next year approaching your ninth-grade year. However, we must focus on the current year. As administrators, we must focus on your safety and academic rigor for each of our students. Additionally, I would like your eighth-grade year to be the best at Pioneer Middle. For us to achieve these goals, I want our 8th grade student body to represent Pioneer in areas of behavior and academic achievement. In addition, high participation in athletics and social clubs. Again, welcome back to the best school in Broward County.

Sincerely,

Paul Baugh, Grade 8 Assistant Principal
