Principal Spotlight: Ms. Jill Robertson 🌟👩🏫
In recognition of National Principal Month, we are excited to highlight Ms. Jill Robertson, who has dedicated 24 years to education and is currently in her 6th year at North Topsail Elementary 📚✨. Ms. Robertson earned her degrees from Bowling Green State University and UNCW 🎓.
In her free time, Ms. Robertson enjoys reading 📖, fishing 🎣, spending time at the beach 🏖️, and cherishing moments with her family 👨👩👦. Her favorite cuisines are Mexican 🌮 and seafood 🦐, with cheese and green peppers as her go-to pizza toppings 🍕. Before pursuing a career in education, she had diverse experiences, including working at her parents' convenience store and serving as an organist at her church 🎶.
A talented musician, Ms. Robertson has a background as a band director and elementary music teacher, and she can play several instruments 🎼. She loves all types of music but will never change the channel when Kenny Chesney is playing 🎵. One fun fact about her is that she has twin boys who are also attending North Topsail Elementary, making their educational journey a shared family experience 👶👶. She can also back a boat up like nobody’s business! 🚤
A memorable moment in Ms. Robertson's career has been witnessing the incredible positive results from the dedicated staff at North Topsail Elementary, which inspires her every day 🤗. Her passion for education was sparked by her own wonderful music teachers, and she is committed to providing similar experiences for her students 🎶❤️.
We are thankful for leaders like Ms. Robertson who foster a nurturing and enthusiastic environment in our schools! 🌟👏
