Hello! I’m Mrs. Eboni Branch, and I am thrilled to join the Pittman Elementary Leadership Academy family as your new principal!

I come to Pittman from Northwest Collegiate and Technical Academy, where I proudly served as assistant principal from 2023 to 2025. Although I’ve spent the last few years at the high school level, my true passion lies in elementary education. The foundational years are where the magic happens—and the raw energy, curiosity, and joy of young learners is what excites me the most.

I’m a proud graduate of the University of Delaware, and I bring with me 24 years of experience in education. My journey began in Prince George’s County, Maryland and the D.C. area, and later took me to Chesapeake, Virginia. Before stepping into administration, I served as a math instructional coach in Gates County, where I helped shape instructional strategies and supported teachers in growing student success.

Over the years, I’ve been honored to be recognized as a Master Teacher, a Teacher of Distinction, and even featured on WAVY-10 as an Educator of Excellence. But the real reward for me has always been the “lightbulb” moments—when students realize their own potential and grow in confidence.

As your principal, my focus is simple but powerful: build strong relationships and support both students and staff every step of the way. Together, we will create vibrant, engaging learning experiences and use data-driven strategies to ensure every child reaches new heights.

I’m so excited for this new chapter, and I can’t wait to meet each of you and begin this incredible journey together in Eagle land!

Warmly,
Mrs. Branch 🦅
Principal, Pittman Elementary Leadership Academy
