Ms. Katina Dunbar – Assistant Principal

Hello Bay View Elementary!

I am excited to join the Bay View Team! I truly have a passion for working with students and leading them to success!

Norfolk Public Schools has been my home for many years! Throughout my career, I have been extremely fortunate to teach students and work alongside educators in grades K-12. I have most recently served at Southside STEM Academy at Campostella as Instructional Coach.

I love to work with people and provide support!

I am a Chesapeake resident. I have one child-his name is Michael, and he is a rising Sophomore. I am extremely close with my family! My parents reside in Virginia Beach. I have one brother, who has a daughter, and she is a recent high school graduate and will be attending college this fall! My parents have two children and two grandchildren!

I absolutely adore spending time with family, listening to music, taking walks, watching the sunset, and serving the community.

I am looking forward to building relationships with my new Bay View Elementary Family!

Thank you for allowing me to serve with you!

Katina S. Dunbar
