Angela Langley: Dean of Students - 6th Grade


Ms. Langley joined the RMA staff in 2016 as a third grade teacher, however her time with RMA spans over 15 years as a parent of an RMA graduate, Matthew '21.  Angela is excited to share her love of math and passion for working with middle school students in her role as Dean!  She especially loves the curiosity, inventiveness, and energy sixth graders bring to the classroom! Angela received her BS in Applied Mathematics and Physical Chemistry from Appalachian State University and completed her MBA at Campbell University.  In her spare time she loves to travel with friends and family.

 

Debbie Viverette: Dean of Students - 7th Grade


Mrs. Viverette came to RMA in 2008 as a middle school social studies teacher. She is excited to have the opportunity to work with students and families this year as the seventh grade Dean! With her passion for history, culture, and current events, she strives always to engage and inspire her students. She loves the independence, enthusiasm, and sense of humor of middle school students. She appreciates middle school as a time of dramatic social, emotional, physical, and academic growth as students are beginning to develop an understanding of themselves and others. Committed to building relationships, she will dedicate herself to fostering a safe and welcoming environment where all students feel included, supported, and challenged. Debbie earned her BS in Business Administration from Barton College, her BA in Psychology from NC Wesleyan University, and her M.Ed at Campbell University. In her spare time, she can be found spending time with her husband (an RMA alumnus) and their furbaby, or reading a good book!

 

Ivey Powell: Dean of Students - 8th Grade


I am a proud graduate of Pirate Nation (East Carolina University) and earned a master’s degree from Grand Canyon University. With 30 years of experience in education, from classroom teaching to instructional technology coach to instructional coach, I bring various views of the educational setting to the Middle School at RMA. As Dean of the Eighth Grade, I am looking forward to leading and assisting the students and staff, focusing on their desire to be the best version of themselves.
