Hello, my name is Juanita White, and I am thrilled to continue to be a part of the Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary School as principal, bringing passion for education and a commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. The 2025-2026 school year is my 26th year in education, and I look forward to empowering students, supporting teachers, and collaborating with families to create a community where every child can thrive.

Before stepping into the role of principal, I served as the Assistant Principal at Burton Hill Elementary School for three years and Versia Williams Elementary School for seven years.  Prior to being a school administrator, I served as a classroom teacher for 14 years at Richard J. Wilson Elementary School.  My leadership style is rooted in the belief that every student has unique strengths and potential, and that it is the responsibility of the school community to help each child realize their full potential.

I am honored to lead Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary School, and I am committed to ensuring that every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their best.
