Ms. Adjoa McDonald
HEAD OF SCHOOL
It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself to you as the new Head of School at the Community School for Creative Education.
My name is Adjoa McDonald, and I am honored to join this vibrant community rooted in creativity, equity, and holistic education. I come to this role with over two decades of experience in the field of education—as a teacher, school leader, and advocate for educational justice. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and am a proud graduate of Mills College, where I focused on leadership, equity, and culturally responsive practices in schools.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering learning environments where every child is seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. I believe that schools must not only be places of academic rigor, but also of love, joy, cultural celebration, and community partnership. These values deeply align with the mission of CSCE, and I am excited to work alongside our dedicated staff, families, and community partners to carry this vision forward.
Over the coming weeks and months, I look forward to meeting you—listening to your hopes for our school and building relationships that strengthen our collective work. Together, we will continue to create a nurturing, dynamic space where our students thrive both academically and personally.
Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am honored to lead and serve this exceptional school community.
In partnership,
Adjoa McDonald

BREAKFAST IS SERVED!
Mornings can be hectic and making sure your kids eat a healthy breakfast can be difficult with today’s busy lifestyle. The easiest way to assure that kids are getting a nutritionally balanced meal in the morning is to participate in the School Breakfast Program. Fortunately, a nutritious, balanced meal is offered at CSCE at the start of each school day from 8:00-8:30am. The best part is that students eat for free!
School breakfast will energize your child’s day. It provides them with a healthy start and gives them the fuel they need to perform their very best. A nutritious breakfast is proven to help students be more alert so they can learn more in class and it gives children plenty of vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
So, help your child start the day right! Participate in CSCE’s School Breakfast Program. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
CSCE provides free breakfast, lunch, snack, and supper to our students regardless of income.
