Thank You, Ms. Tamakloe and Ms. Eley
Last week, we celebrated National Assistant Principals Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize two truly exceptional leaders, Ms. Tamakloe and Ms. Eley.
Assistant principals are the steady leaders behind the scenes—supporting teachers, guiding students, and strengthening school culture. Their dedication and passion for our students’ success help make GBE such a wonderful place to learn and grow. We are incredibly fortunate to have their guidance and expertise shaping our school community every single day.
Please join us in thanking them for their tireless hard work and the positive impact they make on us all!

Welcome Ms. Lorena Sagastume
We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Lorena Sagastume will serve as our acting assistant principal while Ms. Megan Tamakloe is away on maternity leave. Many of our school staff first met Ms. Sagastume during her time providing central office support for Region 5, and we are fortunate to welcome her back to our community in this new capacity. Ms. Sagastume will be visiting our campus frequently over the next several weeks to ensure a smooth transition before she officially begins her role in May.
Ms. Sagastume brings over 16 years of dedicated service to Fairfax County Public Schools, including 12 years of classroom experience as a Spanish and ESOL teacher. Her extensive leadership background includes serving as an ESOL Resource Teacher and her current role as a Dual Language Assessment Specialist. As a soon-to-be graduate of the FCPS Accelerated Certification Cohort, she is equipped with the latest research-based strategies to support our school's operations and culture.
Beyond her professional credentials, Ms. Sagastume offers the unique perspective of an FCPS parent. With three Chantilly High School graduates and one current CHS senior, she deeply understands the importance of the partnership between schools and families. We are excited to have her expertise and warm leadership at GBE to help us finish the school year strong!
