Meet the Principal

Gailyn Laird
I have been with BCPS since 2012, working in various capacities where I have led & supported many students, families, and communities over the years. Through these diverse roles, I have implemented equity-focused and interpersonal leadership initiatives that have fostered positive school climate and culture. I remain committed to safety, education, and equity for all students. I am proud that TJ is one of the highest performing schools in the district and my plan is to continue this upward trajectory towards greatness over the next school year.
