I serve as a principal because I love helping others and watching them reach their full potential or find their passion. It is a gift to be able to watch all that happens in our school from a “bird’s eye view.”
I serve as a principal because I want to make a difference in the lives of children. The people I work with each day inspire me. The moments I get to see on a weekly basis as they connect with kids are the best.
