Mr. Evege James III
Meet our assistant principal, Evege James III.
My name is Evege James III and I am excited to bring my experience, commitment and dedication to AL Holmes. I bring more than a decade of experience in school administration. I am a dynamic and results-oriented leader with a track record of driving significant improvements in student performance, school culture, and community engagement.
My administrative experience includes roles as a principal and assistant principal, where I have been able to enhance testing protocols, implement professional development initiatives and improve student performance.
Prior to that, I helped to improve culture and climate initiatives through PBIS and social emotional learning.
In my most recent role as Principal at Muskegon Heights Public School Academy, we led a turnaround, by increasing student assessment participation and increasing the graduation rate. These efforts also contributed to a decrease in the school's dropout rate.
Prior to that, I helped to improve culture and climate initiatives through PBIS and social emotional learning at East English Village Prep Academy.
During my tenure as Principal at Burns Elementary, I was instrumental in improving student outcomes, with an increase in reading growth as measured by NWEA. I reduced out-of-school suspensions by more than 42%.
I earned my BA and Master of Arts in Education from Michigan State University and a certification in ELA and K-12 administration.
My goals for AL Holmes are to improve our school's grade by increasing expertise in data-driven instruction, professional development, and creating positive school cultures that empower both students and staff.
