Leadership Team

Dr. Charlene Stokes

Dr. Sharon Forman

I am super excited for the opportunity to serve as the newly appointed Assistant Principal of Whittaker Elementary School (WES)! It is an honor to be chosen to work alongside our Principal, Mrs. Denise Simpson. As a family, we will continue to raise the bar of academic excellence. I will advocate for our team of dedicated educators, involved parents, and student learners. 

I have served as a devoted professional school counselor in Orangeburg County School District for 25+ years. I am a proud alumnus of South Carolina State University where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree. Later, I went on to receive a Doctor of Education: Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. I am also National Board Certified. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling to my daughter’s softball games, watching the Game Show Network, and walking our family pet.  

I am dedicated to holding high standards in student achievements, fostering positive school & family relationships, and communicating with stakeholders. I am ready to meet and work with the WES Family!
