Congratulations

Dr. J. Michelle Woods!

“Caritas cum scientia” - Heart with science. As our school motto, heart is essential to medicine and science, and in similar fashion, as our school’s beloved leader for almost two decades, Dr. J. Michelle Rainey Woods led King/Drew Magnet High School “Caritas cum dux” – Heart with leadership.

"For 17 years, Dr. Woods built relationships with her staff and students from a deep sense of understanding and compassion that forged a sense of community that was “family,” unique in the district and as essential to King/Drew as its DNA. A true example of service-leadership, she was fearless to do, say, and stand for her students and staff whenever needed. She carried the legacy of our school’s original vision and mission of integrity, equity, excellence forward with unrivaled commitment and grace. Dr. Woods is not only the heart of this community, but she is also the embodiment of the best we aspire to be in service, in humanity, and in love."

The King/Drew Community formally invites and requests your presence at King Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science for our 40th Anniversary Celebration and the Dr. J. Michelle Rainey Woods Administration Office Dedication, as we present Dr. J. Michelle Rainey Woods with the Leadership of Excellence Award on Friday, June 2nd at 4:30 p.m. in our school’s lobby. Please  RVSP here. 

Congratulations to the Newlyweds!
