Welcome to Greenville Park Leadership Academy!
I am looking forward to a great year! My commitment is for each student to advance academically, socially, and emotionally throughout this year’s journey. I look forward to being a partner of learning for students and parents. I believe for our future to prosper, our students need to grow now in order to meet our expectations. My goal is for students to learn through a variety of engagement strategies and experiences through reading, writing, listening, speaking, and art.
This is my 25th year as an educator. I have served as an ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies teacher. My last role before Assistant Principal was a literacy support coach for ELA and Social Studies teachers and students. I look forward to a year of celebrating our student successes!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
