My name is Brandie Williams-Macon and I am the Principal of Douglas L. Jamerson Jr. Elementary and the past Assistant Principal for 2 years. I graduated from the University of South Florida where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and received a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. I am honored to be a part of the Jamerson family and I share your passion for mathematics and engineering!

I was a classroom teacher for first, second, and third grades for thirteen years. I have experience in building background knowledge to improve literacy and communication skills for all children. I am committed to providing an excellent education to every child at Jamerson Elementary, with a special dedication to closing the achievement gap and preparing students for college and their chosen careers in the future!

Jamerson Elementary is a school family committed to working together to provide a safe, caring, and challenging learning environment for every stakeholder.

My name is Heather Peters, and I am the Assistant Principal of Douglas L. Jamerson, Jr. Elementary. I am very excited to join the Jamerson team! 

This is my 1st year as an Assistant Principal in Pinellas County, but I have 3 years prior experience as a Principal in South Dakota. I graduated from Mount Marty College in Watertown, SD with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I continued my education at the University of Sioux Falls and received first a Master of Education degree in K-12 Reading and then a Master of Education degree for K-12 Educational Leadership.  

 
Overall, this is my 20th year in education. I was a classroom teacher for fourth and fifth grade as well as a kindergarten through third grade reading teacher. I also spent four years working for the South Dakota Department of Education as a Literacy Coach who worked with teachers across the state to help them implement comprehensive literacy.  

Throughout my career I have discovered that each child is a unique individual that is able to thrive in a warm, caring, and exciting school. As a school leader, I am committed to contributing to that environment by encouraging lifelong learning, strong parent/school relationships, academic excellence, respectful collaboration, and open communication. We are going to have an amazing journey this year working together to meet the needs of all students!
