Principal’s Message

Welcome to John Barry Elementary School!

Dear John Barry Families,

At John Barry Elementary School, we believe that every student has the power to achieve excellence when they are supported, challenged, and valued. Our mission is rooted in strengthening the bond between school and community, creating a culture where every scholar feels safe, respected, and inspired to learn. As Principal, I am committed to ensuring that our school remains a place where rigorous and relatable instruction prepares students for lifelong success. Together, we will continue to foster educational growth by promoting strong relationships, a positive school culture, and opportunities that empower our scholars to reach their fullest potential. I encourage families to stay engaged—attend school events, join the School Advisory Council, and maintain open communication with teachers and staff. Your involvement helps us provide the best possible educational experience for every child. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in helping our John Barry scholars shine.

Warm regards,
Dr. Ism’il Ar-Rahman Lamarr
Principal, Commodore John Barry Elementary School
