My name is Angel Perkins and I’m coming to Seven Pines with more than 20 years of experience serving children, youth, and families, and one thing that has remained constant throughout my journey is my passion for helping young people feel seen, supported, valued, and loved.

My motto is simple: “I love you… IN REAL LIFE.” ❤️

That means I believe love is more than something we say—it’s something we show through our presence, our encouragement, our support, our relationships, and the way we show up for our students and families every day.

While I am new to working in Henrico County, Henrico is definitely not new to me! 😉 I am a proud Varina High School graduate, and returning to serve the community that helped shape me is incredibly special. I’m excited to give back to Eastern Henrico, a community that has given so much to me.

A few things you should know about me… 

✨ I LOVE music and will burst out in song at any time!

✨ I believe a good smile can brighten someone’s entire day.

✨ I will always be authentically and unapologetically ME! 

✨ And I am absolutely a FOODIE! So if you know of a hidden gem, a must-try restaurant, or a place that has the best food in town… PLEASE send those recommendations my way! 😂

Most importantly, I cannot wait to meet our Seven Pines families, learn from you, build relationships, and partner with you to make this an incredible year for our students.

I’m excited about the possibilities, excited about what’s ahead, and excited to see how our Penguins will LEVEL UP! 🐧⬆️

Seven Pines, thank you for welcoming me into the family. I’m ready to waddle in, connect, and make an impact! 💙

Here’s to an amazing year, Penguins!
