Fatima Abdul-Hamid (Ms. Fatima) - Executive Assistant
Fatima Abdul-Hamid joined the SBCS family in the fall of 2007 as Executive Assistant and has been loving every minute of it. Born and raised in Baltimore City she began her career in Office Management in the medical field where she stayed for 11 years. She took this experience and transitioned her many talents and love for children over to the education setting in order to challenge herself and to see all her talents put to great use. She has two children who are students here at SBCS, Naszil (4th grade, who has been with SBCS since its opening) and Chave' (Kindergarten). Miss Fatima feels that all the work she dedicates to the school helps to ensure that not only her children receive the best in public education but that every student at SBCS does. Miss Fatima is currently enrolled in Rasmussen College (online) to earn a degree in Business Management with an early childhood focus. She is also enrolled in the New York Institute of Photography working toward a certificate in Professional Photography.
