SHANNA DOUGLASPrincipal |  sdougla2@schools.nyc.gov

Shanna Douglas has spent the last 17 years teaching English Language Arts in middle school, and 5 of those years were spent at LMC as an 8th grade teacher.  She earned an undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree from Teachers College, Columbia University. Ms. Douglas strongly believes that schools should be a place where academic, social and emotional learning takes place. Her favorite middle school novel is To Kill A Mockingbird.


KATHY HSIEHAssistant Principal |  Khsieh2@schools.nyc.gov

Kathy Hsieh moved to New York City in 2007 to make the switch to teaching after working as a journalist in upstate New York. For the past 12 years, she has taught middle school English in District 2. Ms. Hsieh is Chinese American and her family is originally from Taiwan. She grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia, and eventually attended Penn State University, New York University, and Hunter College. Ms. Hsieh loves being an educator because she gets to learn alongside students and watch them grow and question the world around them.
