Assistant Principal

Dr. LaQuita Gresham

Dr. LaQuita Gresham began her career as a Teach For America Corp member and teacher in charter schools in New Orleans. It was there that she taught with the ARISE and KIPP network as a middle and high school English teacher from 2014 - 2018. In the fall of 2018, she transitioned to the Coast and began teaching English and PSAT courses at Pass Christian High School where she received the honor of being named Teacher of the Year for two consecutive years. Prior to joining the Gulfport Admiral family, she served as an Instructional Literacy Coach at Harrison Central High School.

 

Dr. Gresham earned a Bachelor’s in English Education (Secondary) from Southern Miss, a Master’s in Education Administration from Louisiana State University, and a Doctorate in Leadership & Learning in Organizations from Vanderbilt University. 

 

She and her husband are residents of Gulfport with two young sons -- one who is a proud Gulfport Admiral. She is very excited to be a Sea King and to be a part of the Pass Road Elementary team after having served as Assistant Principal at Bayou View Middle School and at West Elementary working alongside both teams as they achieved their "A" ratings.
