You know that feeling you get when you listen to recordings of speeches given by Martin Luther King Jr. or Roosevelt? Here's the thing - their followers did more than listen. The cells in their bodies became fortified with the same passion shared by the leader. What the leader learned became the causes they would live and die by. That's who I am.

Passionate + Relentless = Bold.

Passion itself is such a difficult trait to define, but it is critical to supporting, leading, and engaging the hearts and minds of our school community and our families. Passion - that spark leaders have that cultivates commitment and determination in others to move beyond what is standard - that's what I bring to the table.

I understand and embrace the relentless pursuit of excellence, and I invite others to join me because our students deserve it. I create the kind of work environment where employees share their enthusiasm and drive to achieve organizational goals. I spotlight teachers who inspire students to "chase 100" - to relentlessly pursue their own personal growth until they have mastered a skill and can use it to solve local, national, and global problems. I inspire those same teachers to share their passion with other teachers until that passion for excellence and excitement enchants everyone who enters our doors and experiences our school.

Our work in education has enormous significance, and I love it! The passion I have for seeing students engage in the best learning experiences possible coupled with my relentless pursuit of excellence yields a boldness to continue inspiring and motivating those same traits in others. I can't wait to share this passion for the endless opportunities our students can have with you!
