A school-family on the road to success
More than 72 years ago, my mother founded Timmerman School. All these years later, I am so proud to be the head of this wonderful academic program. I, along with our dedicated faculty and staff, look forward to working with you as a partner in your child's education and progress from one grade to the next.
As Principal of this Columbia, SC, private school, it is essential to me that every parent, student, and teacher who steps through our doors is enthusiastic and happy to be here.
This positive attitude helps students meet high academic and athletic expectations in a school where they are known and supported. I welcome calls and emails from students, parents, and teachers who want to discuss a concern during the school year. My door is open, and I welcome your input.
I look forward to working together as a school-family to help each student at Timmerman School meet their goals and have a wonderful school year!
