Bonnie Mwanda, Principal
Mrs. Bonnie Mwanda, Principal

Hello Ravens families! My name is Bonnie Mwanda and I am thrilled to serve as your principal! My husband, Blaise, and I have been married for twenty-two years and are parents to two wonderful children, Elikya and Jon. Blaise and I met while undergraduates at NC State University and still enjoy cheering for the Pack! I have served students in Union County Schools, Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Mason City Schools, Palm Beach County Schools, and WCPSS over my twenty-three years in education. My professional journey has afforded me the opportunity to engage with professionals and students from all over the world! I recognize, honor, and value the unique experiences and perspectives that each student brings with them each day. I strongly believe that every student deserves access to a quality education and will do all I can to ensure our students receive the best that Wake County Schools has to offer.

Neti Jenkins, Assistant Principal
Ms. Neti Jenkins, 8th Grade Assistant Principal

My name is Neti Hopkins (Jenkins). I have been in Education for 20 years and am a two-time graduate of NC State University. Go Wolfpack.

My educational philosophy is simple: Try as hard as you can to do the best you can, and I will support you 100%.

In my spare time, I love watching the Philadelphia Eagles and spending time with my family. I have 1 son, 3 bonus children, and 2 dogs. Both my parents are educators, so teaching and learning runs in my blood. I have a twin sister and one brother. I am the proud aunt of 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love them all and we are a very close-knit family.

I look forward to making sure your student has a positive school experience.

Go RAVENS!!!!!!!!
