Camille Butler Settles into Role As Middle School Principal

Walking through the hallways of Greenbelt Middle School one may notice that the school bell heard around campus sounds a little different this year. The bell, which used to sound like an alarm, is now a softer tone, meant to create a warmer environment for students and teachers. Carlos Pugh, the parent engagement assistant, has noticed that the bell has not only changed a big part of the school’s environment, but also reflects the person who created it, the new Principal, Camille Butler. “It’s subtle and softer, but it gets the message across, just like her,” Pugh said.

Butler first started at the school in 2017 as a reading teacher.
