"My purpose is to provide students with psychological, educational and vocational tools that may enhance their inner awareness and personal growth. My goal is to develop meaningful relationships with students, parents, staff and community stakeholders in order to promote student success and excellence. Together we can frame the foundation that has already been laid as our students enhance the blueprints of their lives."

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
