PRIORITIES

PUTTING STUDENTS FIRST

I am dedicated to fostering a school environment where safety, inclusivity, and transparency are paramount. By prioritizing student safety and well-being, supporting first-generation and immigrant students, facilitating smooth academic progression, and building strong partnerships with teachers and parents, I aim to create a supportive and effective learning community. My commitment to transparency ensures that all financial decisions are made openly, with the input and oversight of the community, to build trust and accountability. Together, these efforts will help every student thrive and succeed.
