Dr. Janet Perkins, Principal

Welcome to Connections Academy!
I am Dr. Roberts Perkins, the proud principal of this phenomenal school. As we enter our eighth year, our dedicated staff continues to build a program that supports the unique needs of middle school students within the Wake County Public School System.
I have served in this school system for the past 32 years—14 years as a Special Education teacher and 18 years as an administrator. Throughout my career, I have been committed to working with at-promise students, helping them and their families identify pathways to both academic and behavioral success.
I firmly believe that every student deserves access to a high-quality education in a learning environment that is safe, supportive, and conducive to growth. At Connections Academy, our structured policies and procedures help staff and students learn and thrive together.
We place a strong emphasis on building positive relationships, partnering with families, and collaborating with community organizations. These are key components of our program that contribute to student achievement. Additionally, we believe in giving our students meaningful opportunities to engage with and contribute to the community—helping them develop the character and skills of responsible, productive citizens.
Our students are Conquerors—and at Connections Academy, we prepare them to LEAD!
