My Philosophy
My educational philosophy is the belief that all individuals can learn/improve. It is my
responsibility as a Servant-Leader to foster an environment that nurtures and develops
leaders and staff by providing continuous opportunities for academic, intellectual,
physical, emotional, social, and career growth.
The system of a successful and sustaining environment for growth must begin with the establishment of vision, mission, and belief statements.

The supporting elements to this system:

- Data driven decision making
- Tiered interventions based on need
