Hello Spartan Nation!
I have so much PRIDE in being the principal at AWCPA. The 2024-2025 school year will be my 22nd year in education - I spent 14 years in the classroom as a social studies teacher, and I am beginning my eighth year in leadership. This is also my 14th year at this amazing school! I taught at AWCPA for 12 years, and was a part of the committee that helped transition the school from a traditional middle school to a 6-12 school. I love our community and am so happy to be back and leading AWCPA.
We have PRIDE in being a community school and offering many programs that support our students and families. Our goal is to provide opportunities for all of our students so they can be college- and career-ready upon graduation. In order to achieve this, we have spent the last year defining our values and expectations. The result is SPARTAN PRIDE. SPARTAN PRIDE drives the work that we do and the expectations we set for all of our students. I strongly believe that this is the best approach to help our students be successful, and I am full of SPARTAN PRIDE.
In addition to all things AWCPA, I am an avid soccer fan and super passionate about music. I was the first boys' varsity soccer coach at AWCPA, watch way too much soccer in my free time, and still play on adult rec teams. I love music, play multiple instruments, have been in various bands most of my life, and have played guitar for over 30 years. I enjoy going to concerts and performing for others. If I am not on the soccer pitch or a stage, I cherish my time with my wife and two children.
It is such a joy to lead AWCPA and we are excited for all the great things happening this year.
