My name is Julie George, and I would like to introduce myself as your Principal. I joined The Merit School in 1989. I am originally from Cumberland, Maryland, and I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree from Frostburg State University in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I have been a teacher and educational administrator for more than 30 years.
I have been married to Mark George for 29 years, and we have two sons, Tyler age 21, and Colby age 18. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing games, traveling, and going to the movies.
I had always loved children, even when I was a child. I babysat and helped in the church nursery and Vacation Bible School and Sunday School. My favorite part of the day is when I go into the classrooms and observe and spend time with the children. I also enjoy the mornings and evenings when I can talk to the parents as they drop off and pick up their children.
I love the children and families in my school, and I want the best for them. I will go above and beyond to be sure the children are cared for, and the parents are happy with the school and what we offer. I want everyone to know that to me this is not a job. It is a place to spend time with our beautiful children and families. I feel lucky to be able to be part of such a great school with great teachers and families.
