Dr. Dione Simon has over 20 years of experience as a teacher, AVID Coordinator, Student Support Team Chairperson, and administrator.  Dr. Simon has degrees from Southern University and the University of West Georgia.  School administration provided experience in managing 100 staff members and millions in budget.  From curriculum and scheduling to discipline and transportation, Dr. Simon was engaged in the total school program. Over time, she was recognized as an exemplar teacher leader and was promoted to the assistant principal position at Mays High School in 2006.  After five years as an assistant principal, Dr. Simon was selected to serve as the principal at Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy Middle. During her tenure at CSK, she led and supported her team to earn several awards, developed positive business and community partnerships, and created several positive life-altering experiences for her girls, including a visit to the White House. Dr. Simon’s drive to build leadership capacity within others gives her a special skill set of a difference-maker and an inspirational motivator.  In July 2015, Dr. Simon was selected to serve as the school principal at Towns Elementary School, where she worked diligently for four years. Because of Dr. Simon's hard work, she was named the Atlanta Public Schools Principal of the Year in 2017! In 2018, Dr. Simon was named as principal of the new Douglass Cluster elementary school, Harper-Archer Elementary School (HAES).
