Assistant Principal

Ms. Robles-Saenz
My name is Monica Robles-Saenz, and I am proud to serve as your Assistant Principal of Dunn Middle School. I am excited and honored to join such a vibrant school community and to support the incredible students, families, and staff that make DMS such a special place.
I am originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for community, resilience, and the importance of education. I earned my undergraduate degree from North Carolina Central University, where I also had the opportunity to play volleyball, an experience that shaped my love for teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. I later earned my Master of School Administration from East Carolina University.
I spent many rewarding years serving students and families in the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) system, where I developed a strong commitment to student-centered leadership and collaborative school culture. I am beyond excited to bring that experience to DMS and to serve our families with dedication and care.
I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a successful school. My goal is to ensure that every student feels safe, supported, and valued each day they walk through our doors. I am committed to creating a positive school environment where high expectations, respect, and kindness guide everything we do.
As the assistant principal, I value open communication and partnership with families. Please do not hesitate to reach out, ask questions, or share concerns. Together, we can create meaningful learning experiences and help our students reach their full potential.
I look forward to building strong relationships and having a successful school year together.
