Dear staff, students, and families,

It is a distinct pleasure and honor to be selected as the principal of Towson High School. The community of Towson High School prides itself on deliberate excellence that has been the result of a collegial partnership. My personal priority will be to complement, motivate, and support the efforts and dedication of the students, staff, parents, and community.

During the past 16 years of service to Baltimore County Public Schools, I have worked collaboratively to enhance and support programs at all levels (elementary, middle, and high) at various settings (low- high performing schools). As a member of TEAM BCPS, I have served as the principal of during the past three years. Prior to this appointment, I was an assistant principal at Eastern Technical High School. My professional teaching experiences include teaching northeast and southeast areas of Baltimore County Public Schools. These experiences coupled with having two children enrolled in Baltimore County Public schools have positively contributed to my understanding of the growth and development of students across the academic spectrum.

It is my belief that the educational program must be academically challenging, engage each student with opportunities that link the curriculum to previous knowledge, and also be exciting to promote further exploration of new ideas. Parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all have an important role to encourage our children to become active learners. It is my desire to support the mission of Towson High School and provide expanded opportunities for our students to acquire the skills to become productive citizens. We will continue to maintain the high level of academic excellence while committing our efforts to showcase our accomplishments in a dignified and exceptional manner.

Together, we will continue to enhance Towson High School’s proud tradition of excellence.

Respectfully yours, V{tÜÄxÇx W|`|ÇÉ Charlene DiMino
