Meet Sonya Nock-Lemons, an alumna of TCNJ's
Educational Leadership program. She
graduated in the spring of 2002 and for the
past four years has been an elementary
school principal, currently at Twin Hills
Elementary School in Willingboro, NJ.
Previous to her current position, she began
her tenure as an administrator at the
secondary level in 2004. Sonya credits the
TCNJ Ed Leadership program with having
given her the skills and competence to
effectively work at the elementary, middle,
and high school levels. She describes having
finished the program with a well-rounded
sense of capability and preparedness. Her
mindset shifted into that of a leader once
enrolled in the program, changing the way
she viewed and approached an array of
educational challenges. As a school leader,
one of the greatest things Sonya feels she
gained from her experience at TCNJ and the
Ed Leadership program is the relationships
that she formed. From fellow classmates,
now colleagues, to professors in the program,
she has built up a professional network that is still very
important to her today.
