Welcome back Ms. Booker! We are happy to have you at MacArthur Middle as our Career Coach! #AAWDC #aacpsawesome #belonggrowsucceed
28 days ago, MacArthur Middle School
Hi, my name is Breonna Booker, and I’m your career coach.  I graduated from Florida A&M University with a bachelor’s in  psychology in 2022. I have a passion for helping young people  grow and succeed, and since 2016, I’ve worked with students of  all ages to guide them toward personal growth, academic achievement,  and career success. I believe that with the right support and guidance, every  young person has the potential to achieve great things. That’s why I’m dedicated  to working with students during this stage, helping them develop essential skills,  explore career interests, and build a mindset that will set them up for success. My goal is to not only help students dream big but also give them the tools and  encouragement they need to turn those dreams into reality. I look forward to  working with your child and being part of their journey toward a bright future!

We're still making some final tweaks, so 2025-26 bus schedules will be available on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
