New Principal Named For West Hempstead School

WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY — The West Hempstead School District has named a new principal at the George Washington Intermediate School, effective July 1.

Robin Milliner-Johnson comes to West Hempstead after a decade of educational work across New York City's public schools.

As principal of a single-gender school, she piloted a phonics curriculum aligned with best practices, resulting in 98% of her kindergartners reading at or above grade level by the end of the 2022-2023 school year.

Milliner-Johnson attended Adelphi University where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, and a Master of Arts degree in childhood education.

"This achievement is a testament to her ability to coach and develop teachers in
implementing innovative practices that drive student success,” said Superintendent of
Schools Dan Rehman. "With her wealth of knowledge, passion for education, and
commitment to creating inclusive and supportive environments, Ms. Milliner-Johnson is
poised to lead George Washington Intermediate School into an exciting new chapter."
