Alcovy High School

Greetings Tigers,   

I believe that educating young minds is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It is full of challenges, moments of productive struggles, and responsibilities. However, it is a task that is also full of excitement, wonder, and joy.

I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning and I work hard to ensure that they have the proper motivation, guidance, and support. As an assistant principal, I work diligently to help students become craftsmen and architects of teaching and learning. A professional understanding of motivation, behavior, child development theories, and learning strategies is at the center of my leadership compass and I am passionate about helping our teachers and staff build meaningful, positive, healthy, professional, and impactful relationships with students so, together, we can help them reach their full potential.
    

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.

To help ensure students become college and career ready, I support our students’ needs/desires to construct knowledge, as they thrive through continuous opportunities for learning discovery and through practicing hands-on skills in authentic and innovative learning situations.

My commitment to Alcovy includes:

• Supporting and promoting academic, athletic, and artistic excellence

• Creating opportunities for students to be independent, innovative, expressive learners.

• Providing a non-judgmental platform for students to communicate their attitudes, values, and beliefs.

• Advocating for the development and promotion of value for all students.

• Encouraging collaborations with the community to build meaningful partnerships that will contribute to school improvement.

• Promoting, supporting, and protecting the socio-emotional development/environment of all stakeholders.

• Promoting the technological proficiency of all students, staff, and parents.

• Providing opportunities for parental support, growth, and development.

• Ensuring equity for all students

Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you very soon.
