Welcome to Midfield City Schools! It is with great pleasure that I humbly serve as the Superintendent of Midfield City Schools. As a native of Birmingham, Alabama, I am most proud that I received my education foundation from Midfield Elementary and Rutledge Middle School. Thusly, it is my ambition to be a part of the Midfield family that is growing, collaborating, and using our gifts and expertise to make Midfield City Schools a premier learning institution.                                       

Midfield City Schools is most proud of our heart to serve our students, families, and community. As  we continue to strive and grow, we are confident that we will increase the number of students who are proficient in reading, writing, and math.

There is an African proverb that states, "It takes a village to raise a child."  In essence, all stakeholders involved must play their role in assuring the success of each child.  Through collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and community members we believe that each child will develop academically, physically, socially, and culturally.
