Principal
Dr. Tawauna Stewart
I am humbled and honored to serve as the Principal of Rogers-Herr Middle School. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity within our school community. With a passion for student success and a commitment to continuous improvement, I strive to create a learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The middle school years are important and critical times for students. During these years, it is what happens here that will have a permanent effect on their growth and development. My goal as Principal is not only to provide leadership to promote a secure and respectable classroom atmosphere in order for your child to receive the best possible academic instruction, but also to support your child academically, socially and emotionally. I believe in open communication and a strong home to school connection. My philosophy is that every student is equipped with an inherent value.
My approach to leadership is collaborative, transparent, and student-centered, focusing on building strong relationships with students, staff, parents, and the wider community. I believe in the power of education to empower individuals to reach their full potential. By setting high expectations, promoting a positive school climate, and fostering a culture of respect and diversity, I aim to continue the culture where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina A&T State University, Master in School Administration from North Carolina Central University and Doctorate in Educational Leadership at High Point University.
I am excited to embark on this journey and look forward to working together as we continue to promote a school culture that promotes excellence, celebrates diversity, and prepares students for a successful future.
Assistant Principal

My name is Jennifer Hall and I am the 7th grade assistant principal at Rogers-Herr Middle School. I am excited about transitioning into this position. This is my twelfth year at Rogers-Herr, and I am in my twenty-third year in public education.
