Leadership:
Armanda Carr, Barclay School Principal
“Barclay Elementary/Middle School is truly excited about the JHU/Whiting partnership. It is our vision and mission to develop college and career ready students through a STEAM approach to instruction. This partnership allows the school to provide high quality STEM instruction to all students in grades Pre-K- 8 by providing both curriculum supports, professional development for teachers and a state of the art science/ engineering lab. These supports are vital to the success of our school. We look forward to our continued partnership in making Barclay one of best schools in Baltimore City.”
Ed Schlesinger, The Benjamin T. Rome Dean of Whiting School of Engineering
“Engineering makes it unique–and it’s a great vehicle to teach kids about society. Engineers are problem solvers–Students will use their knowledge to solve real problems–a skill that’s needed in any field”
