My #IHPromise - to ignite the leadership spark within every Brave, empowering their voice and cultivating their potential to be the leaders of tomorrow.
Being a Brave means to inspire. A Brave strives for excellence, embraces challenges wholeheartedly, and motivates others through leadership. As the dean of students, I am committed to helping every Brave, K-12, become a trailblazer who takes on their educational journey with a passion to be their best self by fostering an inclusive and respectful environment that enriches our school community.
The best moments of my day are when I witness students' growth and enthusiasm for learning, observing them overcome challenges, form friendships, and take courageous steps towards leadership and personal growth. It reminds me of the profound impact education has on their lives and inspires me to continue supporting their academic, social, and emotional development in any way I can.
