His philosophy of education is best summed up by the following quote from an unknown source: “Who are Schools for…Schools were created to meet the needs of children. They were not created to employ teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, secretaries, cooks, bus drivers or anyone else. The reason for the existence of those in education is to serve the needs of children, ALL of them - the bright, dull, loud, quiet, black, white, interested, and even the disinterested ones. Our primary responsibility is to hold the well-being of children as the fundamental value in everything we do!"

Beverly Hudson, Assistant Principal of Discipline
I am the Assistant Principal of Administration here at Caddo Middle Magnet. My main duty, I feel, is to ensure that students feel safe and secure in an environment conducive to learning. It is an honor to be a part of a school with such a rich reputation for and longstanding history of excellence
in educating some of the brightest young minds in Caddo Parish and Louisiana. My educational background includes an undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech University and graduate degrees from Louisiana Tech University and Centenary College. For more than 28 years, I have been an
elementary and middle school teacher, Master Teacher, Parent Coordinator, Guidance Counselor, Instructional Coordinator, Assistant Principal and Interim Principal. Throughout my career, I have been active in several professional education organizations, participated in numerous state and national trainings and earned awards, as well. But, for me, it’s not about professional awards. It is about educating children. Having worked with so many types of children since 1985, I am convinced that all children can learn and that all students want to learn. That is something I am committed to each day students show up on our campus. Students deserve the best instruction they can get and that is what they will get here. My biggest hobby is reading, but my most treasured role is that of being mother to three tremendously gifted and unique daughters, Maya, Zoe and Zaria.
