Rovez Ingram, Principal

I am absolutely ecstatic to be serving as the principal of Marguerite Christian Elementary! I am confident the school year will be amazing and the Marguerite Christian Lions will be feasting on success!

In 2004, I graduated from North Carolina Central University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. Afterwards, I took my first teaching position with Richmond Public Schools and I taught fifth, fourth, and second grades. During my ten year tenure with RPS, I attended Virginia Commonwealth University and earned a Master of Education degree in Special Education, and a Post-Master’s Certificate in Educational Leadership. I obtained a grade four teaching position with Chesterfield County Public Schools in 2014, and was promoted to assistant principal the following year. I served as the assistant principal of Matoaca Elementary for three years.

In my leisure, I enjoy spending time with my wife and my two sons. Additionally, I love grilling, traveling, and watching the Carolina Panthers during football season!

I’m looking forward to partnering with all members of the Marguerite Christian family to make this an exciting school year! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance. #PowerofthePride

Trupti Yates, Associate Principal

It is with great excitement that I introduce myself as the Associate Principal of Marguerite Christian Elementary School. I am very humbled and honored to join this vibrant and supportive school community.  My husband and I are blessed to have two amazing daughters, who are both products of CCPS.  Isabella recently graduated from Midlothian HS and is now at Virginia Tech and Sophia just started her senior year at Cosby HS. We also have a miniature Dachshund who brings an abundance of joy to our lives.  As a family, we love to travel and explore new cuisine! 

My educational journey began 14 years ago as a classroom teacher here in CCPS upon graduating from Old Dominion University.  Since then, I have earned my masters in Elementary Education and my Education Leadership & Policy Studies certificate from the University of Richmond.  I have had the privilege of working in various roles in education that have deepened my passion for fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment for all. At Marguerite Christian, my goal is to support our students, staff and families in every possible way. I am committed to creating a nurturing environment where all students and staff feel valued and empowered to reach their full potential. 

Open communication is essential and I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, concerns or ideas you may have. I believe that collaboration and a shared commitment to our students' success are the keys to achieving our goals.   Feel free to reach me at Trupti_Yates@ccpsnet.net.  I look forward to an exciting school year!  #PowerofthePride

Tina Wyatt, Dean of Students

I am honored and super excited about serving as the next Dean of Students here at Marguerite Christian! I feel blessed to become a part of the Lions’ community.

I come to you with a wealth of experience.  This is my thirtieth year in education.  I have taught in Petersburg City, Hopewell City (at a private, Christian school), Richmond City, and here in Chesterfield County.  Before coming to M. Christian, I taught at Harrowgate Elementary for twenty years. During my career, I have taught Kindergarten, Second and Third grade and have served in a variety of leadership roles.

I am a proud graduate of Virginia State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  In 2016, I earned my Master’s degree in Administration and Supervision from Liberty University in Lynchburg.

One of my favorite roles is being a mom.  My husband and I are the parents of three beautiful girls that are all products of Chesterfield County Schools.  We love the education that they have been afforded here and I am totally invested in their lives and the lives of the children that I serve in this community. In my leisure time, however, I love visiting the beach, shopping and spending as much time with my family as possible.

I look forward to building relationships with students, families, and all stakeholders.  I am confident that as we partner together, we will ensure the best school year for every child. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

I am proud to be a part of “The Pride.”

Go Lions!!!
