Dr. Takicey Dunston, Principal at Benson Elementary, is dedicated to creating a supportive learning environment for every student. Throughout her 30+ years of experience in education, Dr. Dunston’s overarching strategy has always been to meet students where they are, discover their strengths, and teach them useful techniques to utilize those strengths to improve in other areas of learning.
Her impact goes far beyond the classroom. Dr. Dunston has also created a community of positivity and collaboration among her staff. She knows how important it is to set the tone during the highs and especially during the lows, and continually displays her belief in the students and teachers.
That commitment to both students and staff has not gone unnoticed. At the JCPS annual Leadership Conference, Dr. Dunston was named the 2025-2026 Principal of the Year!
Congratulations, Dr. Takicey Dunston! 👏
