Ah-Tavia Maxey

I bring over 15 years of experience in education, with a strong foundation in classroom instruction, instructional coaching, and school leadership. My work has centered on improving student outcomes, coaching teachers, and building inclusive, achievement-focused school cultures. As a founding principal, I successfully launched a new elementary school and led efforts in community engagement, data-driven instruction, and student growth. I’ve also supported Title I initiatives, led after-school academic programs, and provided mental health services early in my career.

In addition to my professional work, I’m deeply committed to service and mentorship. I am a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and actively serve as a youth mentor through Higher Dimension Church and volunteer with Star of Hope Homeless Shelter. Through Limitless Minds Education, I provide academic intervention for elementary to middle school students, as well as parent advocacy to empower families in navigating the education system.

I hold two master’s degrees in Educational Administration and Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University, equipping me with advanced leadership, curriculum, and instructional design skills. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Virginia State University, providing a strong foundation in advocacy and systemic thinking—both critical in my work supporting students and families.

I am certified in both Texas (EC-6 Principal as Instructional Leader) and Virginia (Administration & Supervision PreK–12 and Elementary Education PK–6), which has allowed me to serve effectively as both a classroom educator and school leader across diverse educational settings.
