VERA WHITE

My condolences to Mrs. White's loved ones. I was a student at Jefferson Junior High from 1996-1999. Mrs. White taught us structure and discipline as our principal, and consequences for poor judgment. It's because of her that many of us became better people, because she believed in us and pushed us to be. I'm saddened to learn of her loss. Her legacy is in all of us who were privileged to have experienced a kind of leadership that was exclusively her own. Thank you, Mrs. White!

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. White's family and friends. I was a student at Jefferson Jr High 1987-89

Your love of family will be deeply missed. You were a blessing to all who knew you. I will miss my Aunt Vera.

I will always remember your achievements and legacy fondly, Aunt Vera. Rest well.

I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Vera White. I attended Jefferson JHS from about 1993-1996 and they were truly some of the best years of my young life. Mrs. White ruled with an iron fist and she did not play around with any of the kids there. She demanded that we take pride in how we look, how we learn and study, and how we treated others as well as ourselves. As an adult, I truly appreciate her more now than ever, and I am forever grateful that I was...

Prayers & Love surrounding the families of Mrs. Vera White. She was principal of Jefferson Junior High where all 3 of my daughters attended & did very well under her leadership.

She was very stern but loved the children. Some things we agreed on and some we didn´t, but we both had the utmost respect for...

Many memories and talks I remember having with you, Mrs. White. May your spirit rest in peace. Ride on!

Peace and Blessings to the family of Ms. Vera White. Her leadership of the DCPS Southwest Cluster of Schools (Jefferson, Amidon, Bowen) is respected and appreciated. As an alum of Southwest schools who returned to the area to raise my son Philip(Jefferson'04), I experienced Ms. White's impact on not only the education, but the character, work ethic, and morals of our D.C.P.S. Students. Thank you and Rest in Heavenly Power, Ms. Vera White

Mrs. Vera White had a huge impact on all of her students. She tackled many obstacles in an attempt to demand the most from the students that came thought the doors of Jefferson Junior HS. She had her hands full and was 100% ready for making sure we were prepared for life. God has a wonderful addition to his kingdom. Bless the family during this time and find comfort in knowing she made a difference to so many. Her spirit lives forever.
