It is my pleasure to serve as the principal of Woodrow Wilson Middle School. I have been in education since 2008, starting as a middle school math teacher. After seeking out certification in administration from Virginia Tech, I was awarded the wonderful opportunity to serve as the Camper Hall principal at William Fleming High School.

Once at William Fleming High School, I knew I was where I wanted to be…in Roanoke City Public Schools. My administrative path lead me to four years of experience as an assistant principal at both, William Fleming High School and Patrick Henry High School. All of my experiences culminated into being awarded the principalship of Woodrow Wilson Middle School in the 19-20 school year.

The students, the staff, and the community have been nothing short of wonderful and I look forward to continuing our efforts in making Woodrow Wilson Middle School the BEST middle school!

Hello! My name is Alisa Barnette and I began my career as an educator in 1988.  Prior to becoming an administrator, I taught students health and physical education for 13 years.  In July 2004, I began my career in administration as an assistant principal.  I enjoy working with the students, parents, and the entire Woodrow Wilson Middle School family to make it a safe and engaging learning environment.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, walking, and visiting beaches.
