PGCPS APIP In The Spotlight | Andrea M. Thomas Munson

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Mrs. Munson's family moved to Upper Marlboro when she was a toddler. She was fortunate to grow up and go to school in Prince George's County Public Schools with some of the best teachers: Arrowhead Elementary, James Madison Junior High, and Frederick Douglass High School. Following in her mother's footsteps--a 32 year educator in PGCPS-- Mrs. Munson chose to pursue a career in education. She taught for over a decade in middle schools before transitioning to the role of instructional specialist in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction for another decade. However, Mrs. Munson never lost the interest of working directly with students; this led her to return to the school setting last year. When not engaged in her roles as Academic Dean and 8th Grade Administrator, Mrs. Munson enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, puttering in her gardens, and whipping up culinary masterpieces.
