Administration

Responsibility - One of the Character Counts Pillars!

Instructional Leadership Team:

The Instructional Leadership Team collaborates to communicate effectively with stakeholders, promote a positive professional learning community, support staff through professional development, model best instructional practices, and monitor School Improvement Plan goals. Staff members and parents monitor and evaluate action plans at monthly SIP reviews. The four goal groups communicate with other stakeholders verbally and electronically through meetings and monitoring sheets.

I am beginning my 6th year as the principal and my 33rd year in MCPS. I began my career in MCPS as a Social Studies teacher and expanded by experience by serving as an instructional specialist for technology, coordinator for special initaitives and assistant principal.
