Matthew Griffin has been selected as the next principal for Booker T. Washington Elementary School. With extensive experience in educational leadership, Griffin has served as the principal at Timbers Elementary in Humble Independent School District in Texas since 2022. He will join Team FCPS and begin his new role July 1. 

Griffin began his career in education with a commitment to fostering positive school cultures and high-quality instruction across various school levels. Prior to his role as principal, he served as the assistant principal at Woodcreek Middle School and Fall Creek Elementary, also within Humble Independent School District. During his tenure, he led a comprehensive redesign of Campus Emergency Operations Plans and developed a professional learning plan that significantly reduced student discipline disparities.

"Matthew's innovative leadership and his focus on creating an engaging and supportive environment for both students and staff are impressive," said Superintendent Demetrus Liggins. "His vision and dedication to educational excellence make him an outstanding choice to lead Booker T. Washington Elementary."

Outside of his administrative duties, Griffin has been a strong advocate for educational growth and community engagement. He co-founded the Aspiring Administrators Network, providing district-level professional learning for future school leaders. His initiatives have consistently prioritized the professional growth of staff members and the development of trusting partnerships with families.

“Matthew’s passion for student achievement and his commitment to fostering a collaborative school community are commendable,” said Chief School Leadership Officer Jennifer Hutchison, who oversees Booker T. Washington. “His proven track record of driving positive change and innovation will greatly benefit students, staff, and families at Booker T. Washington.”

Griffin holds a bachelor’s in Education from Fairmont State University (West Virginia), a master’s in Educational Leadership from the University of Texas at Arlington, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Sam Houston State University (Texas).
