It is with great enthusiasm and a sense of commitment that I step into the role of interim principal at McKinley Classical Leadership Academy. I am eager to collaborate with the students and families, dedicated faculty, and supportive staff to build upon the proud legacy of academic excellence and vibrant school culture that defines our school.
Throughout my career, my focus has been on empowering students not only academically but also in fostering the development of their character. I firmly believe that understanding and connecting with each individual is essential to bringing out their best. My recent role experience as Assistant Principal at Metro Academic and Classical High School and formerly the assistant principal at Soldan International Studies High School helped to gain valuable insights and experiences that have equipped me for the responsibilities of school leadership.
Prior to my administrative role, I served as a Math Curriculum Specialist for the school district, and my journey in education began as a math teacher. This diverse experience has honed my skills and prepared me to be an effective school administrator dedicated to the holistic growth of our students.
On a personal note, I am happily married to my wife, Keisha, and together, we are blessed with the opportunity to raise our daughter, Zari. Outside of my professional responsibilities, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, indulging in reading, and, when time permits, engaging in the rejuvenating activity of running.
I am excited to embark on this journey and I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of our school.
