I am Matia Goodwin, and I am beginning my eighth year as the principal of Jackson School.  Camden is home for me and I love working in the community where I grew up.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education from South Carolina State University, a Masters Degree in Divergent Learning from Columbia College and an Education Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration from Cambridge College.  This is my 20th year in education and I have loved every moment of it.  My experiences include teaching 3rd - 7th grade, teacher of the gifted and talented, curriculum coach and assistant principal.  I believe that every student can be a LEADER and it is our mission to Lead, Encourage, Achieve and Dream!

On a personal note, I am married to Bryce Goodwin and we have two children, Landon and Alyson.
