Assistant Principal
Greetings Panthers!! My name is Stephanie Douglas-Jackson, and I am a proud administrator here at Lucille Brown Middle School. I am a wife and mother to my own three school-aged children, and that experience propels me to staunchly advocate for each student that I serve here at Brown.
As a longtime educator with RPS, I am exceedingly proud to aid in the fostering of a safe and academically robust school environment. I find great pleasure in working with our students, watching them blossom from nervous, uncertain sixth graders to confident, mature eighth graders. My work here is ever-evolving, as are our amazing students!! I look forward to each new academic year, and I wish to extend myself to each of my students and their families. Please do not hesitate to reach out me, and remember...we are Panther strong!!!
