Dear Jane Addams Middle School Families and Community,

It is both an honor and a pleasure to introduce Rebecca Bland as the new Acting Assistant Principal of Jane Addams Middle School for the 2025-26 school year.

Ms. Bland comes to us from Louisa Boren STEM. She was chosen from an impressive group of candidates by the JAMS hiring team, and her commitment to student success will be an invaluable addition to our community.

We deeply appreciate the trust shown by the hiring team and the warm welcome extended by our entire community. In the coming year, we look forward to connecting with many of you, learning about your hopes and dreams for our school, and working together to shape the future of JAMS. We are excited for all that we will achieve together!

With gratitude and enthusiasm,

Angela M. Thomas
Acting Principal
Jane Addams Middle School
