Reflection: School leaders have a goal of preparing students to be responsible successful member of society upon graduation or leaving school. Our responsibility is to provide students with the education they need to meet this goal.

I believe in the importance of inspiring a lifelong love of learning for all students, in encouraging curiosity and dreaming, in developing positive social-emotional skills, in teaching students to be responsible, compassionate, involved citizens, and fostering a supportive learning environment with students, school staff, county agencies, and community members.

Our work in PBIS has directly taught school wide and classroom specific expectations, we have brought restorative practices in to the school to help students learn how to repair harm that is caused and restore relationships in their learning or personal communities, and we have focused on trauma informed education to better prepare our students to become caring, informed citizens. All of these actions also help create and maintain a positive school culture and climate.
