As a Principal of a transformational school, I knew bold changes need to take place. In collaboration with an amazing staff, we have shifted to a model of partnering with students. After more than 5 years of performing in the bottom 10% of the state, we are now in the top 2/3! We are passionate about education and continue to enhance our culture focused on the "whole child". Implementing the philosophy and strategies developed by Marty Huitt has been key in this transformation process.
