Dr. Roma Benjamin

Greetings from the Principal’s desk! I am Dr. Roma J. Benjamin, the newly appointed Principal at Rowland Academy. It is an honor to return back to the Harrisburg School District! I have been with the district for 25 years and look forward to working with Mr. Chad Gerard and Mrs. Pia Peterson Assistant Principals, the entire staff, students, and parents!

The time is here to start making preparations for what is going to be a very productive and great 2024/2025 new school year! This coming school year will include district-wide utilization of Positive Behaviors Interventions and Support (PBIS), Station Rotation, and Culturally Relevant Instruction. Rowland will only house 7th and 8th grade students this year, therefore quality teaching, learning, and safety will be our central focus.  We are committed to fostering strong partnerships with all stakeholders to create a nurturing, caring, and supportive environment for all students and staff! There will be a variety events, workshops, and opportunities for families to actively engage in the education process of your children! We value and appreciate your input and encourage you to share any ideas or feedback that can be beneficial to all!

As we embark on this new school year, let us continue to create an environment for the love of teaching and learning, celebrating each child’s unique abilities and provide them with the tools needed to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are excited to partner with you on this journey and cannot wait to witness the growth and achievements of our students!

Thank you for much needed support, dedication, and trust in our school. Together we, WIN as we all contribute to the success of Rowland Academy!

Blessings,

Dr. Roma J. Benjamin
