    Principal - Dr. Joey Jones Dr. Jones - Principal

    Greetings. My name is Joey N. Jones. I am pleased to serve as principal of Robert Frost Middle School, one of the top middle schools in the nation. I was born in Reidsville, North Carolina. I enjoyed a wonderful childhood along with my parents, three brothers, and two sisters. My wife and I have three young adult girls. We value family, faith, and community. We have a passion for the development and success of people, particularly youth. 


    I earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in industrial arts/technology education from North Carolina A&T State University. I was fortunate to be awarded an academic fellowship to attend the University of Maryland where I earned a Ph.D. degree in Public School Administration and Supervision. I started my Montgomery County Public Schools career in 1992 as a substitute teacher. Since then, I have enjoyed successful years of service at Sligo Middle School, Thomas Edison High School of Technology, and Rockville High School. I am very excited to be a part of the Robert Frost Middle School community. Finally, in my spare time I enjoy traveling, watching and playing sports, reading, and eating out at nice restaurants. One of my personal quotes is: Leaders are always doing one of two things – getting better or getting behind. Choose to get better.

    Hello, I’m Khara Cannon Chike.  Prior to becoming an Assistant Principal, I was a Spanish teacher for 22 years and a World Languages Resource Teacher for 6 years.  In 1997, I began my teaching career in Prince George’s County Public Schools at Eleanor Roosevelt High School.  In 2000, I began teaching for Montgomery County Public Schools at Springbrook High School, where I continued to teach Spanish and became the Resource Teacher for the World Languages Department for six years.  I earned my B.A. degree with honors in Spanish Secondary Education from the University of Maryland, College Park and my M.A. degree in Spanish Literature from Howard University.  In 2011, I received a graduate certificate in Administration and Supervision from Towson University.  I also proudly received a graduate certificate in Equity and Excellence in Education from McDaniel College.

    I grew up in Randolph, New Jersey.  When I’m not at work, you can find my husband and me cheering on our children in their various sports activities.  I also enjoy traveling, going for long walks, and playing pickleball.

    I joined the Frost family in 2019 and I value the school community and its dedication to the students.  I appreciate how the school community works together to promote excellence and success for every child.  As an educator, I believe that students want to know that we care and that we believe in them.  I look forward to serving the Frost community and helping every child reach their full potential.

      My name is Kate Freedenberg, Assistant School Administrator. I have been a history teacher at Frost for the last 14 years. I have experience as an educational leader serving 6 years as the History Content Specialist in addition to being a grade level team leader. I earned my BA and MA in Secondary Social Studies Education from the University of Kentucky, in Lexington - Go Cats! I am excited to work closely with the 7th grade students and support the English and History departments. 

      I am a proud product of the local community, I grew up around the corner from Frost and am a graduate of Wootton High School. I currently live in Gaithersburg with my husband and three energetic boys—Nolan (9), Patrick (6), and Jack (4) - along with our two beloved dogs, Barney and Rosie.

      In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, and spending summers in Bethany Beach, Delaware. I am currently training for my second half marathon, scheduled for February 2026. My family and I are big sports fans. You can find us cheering on the Washington Commanders, Washington Nationals, and, of course, the Kentucky Wildcats.

      I feel honored to serve the Frost community and to continue to be a part of the Frost Family. I am looking forward to all the excitement we have ahead of us this year with some of the BEST students on the planet!
