Penn's Grove School

Principal:  Tami A Motes

It is a honor to be a part of the school community in the Oxford Area School District.  I come to you with 20 years of educational experience.  After graduating from Temple University, my career began in middle school as a 6th grade teacher in the Upper Darby School District.  After earning my Master's Degree from Saint Joseph's University in Educational Leadership, I became an Assistant Principal at Beverly Hills Middle School.  My most recent experience has been at the Oxford Area High School as an Assistant Principal.  I love spending time reading and doing outdoor activities with my husband and two children, Cooper and Peyton.  I am excited to be working with middle school age students and look forward to a fantastic year creating strong students who are academically prepared for the high school.

I am a graduate of West Chester Henderson High School, and completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware. I worked at Downingtown Middle School before taking a few years off from teaching to begin a family.  I joined the Oxford Area School District in 2008 serving as a sixth grade Special Education teacher, and later became a fifth grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher.  In 2014, I obtained my Master’s in Education with a concentration in Principal Certification from Cabrini College.  I was appointed Penn’s Grove School Assistant Principal in August of 2015.

I currently reside in Lincoln University with my husband and two children.
