Faculty & Staff

Administration

Hello my name is Debbie Calvert, principal at College Park Elementary School.

I come to College Park with an extensive background in education. I served the students of Charles County, Maryland for 33 years as a teacher, instructional coach, coordinator of instruction, assistant principal, and principal. I am a strong believer in the power of building relationships and am looking forward to getting to know all of our students, parents and community stakeholders. I believe in energetic and engaging classrooms where teachers instill the love of learning in their students and can’t wait to see the school come alive with teaching and learning!
