Ms. Kimberly Moore, Assistant Principal
Greetings,
It is truly an honor to serve as an Assistant Principal at the historical Booker T. Washington High School. I began my educational career here after graduating from Spelman College with a degree in Political Science with a minor in Secondary Education and before going on to obtain Master’s and Educational Specialist degrees in Educational Leadership from the University of West Georgia.
As a twenty-three year veteran of the Atlanta Public School System, I am proud to say that I have worked all twenty three years at Booker T. Washington High School. I began working in the Main Office as an hourly receptionist before beginning my teaching career in the social studies department and becoming Department Chairperson. Soon after, I was named a Teaching and Learning Specialist and then Design Team Leader for the transition to small schools. I served as an Instructional Coach in the small school setting before the transition back to one comprehensive school. During my tenure at Washington High School, I have worked with a variety of clubs, organizations, and activities and served in a number of leadership roles.
Each successive year at Washington has proved to be more intriguing than the one before. I operate each day with the desire to empower students to “Move on from this historical institution of learning better prepared to serve your family, community and the world.”
I eagerly look forward to all that the upcoming school year will bring.
Kimberly Moore

Mr. Joseph Harris, Assistant Principal
It is with honor that I serve as an administrator here at Washington High School. I am a family man with a wife and three children. I was born in Brooklyn NY and primarily raised in New Haven, CT. I came to Georgia to attend Morehouse College in 1988 and later started my career in education as a History teacher in Atlanta Public Schools in 1993. I later furthered my education in Cambridge, MA and obtained a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. It has now been 25 years since I came on board with Atlanta Public Schools, and yes, it has certainly been a journey. This journey is one for which I am forever thankful given the lives that I’ve touched and the lessons I've learned. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The greatest among you will be a servant to all”. It is in this vein that I strive daily to be a positive role model for our children and create and promote a learning environment that is conducive to student achievement.
