Welcome Patriots!
I am humbled and excited to serve as the principal of Nathan Hale Middle School. I genuinely believe that my more than 20 years of experience has prepared me to be in this place, at this time, for this awesome opportunity. Like the other school communities that I have been able to serve in, the Nathan Hale community is a richly diverse and thriving community. I look forward to being a positive contributor here.
The staff display a passion for educating the whole student. They pride themselves on the academic and social growth that students demonstrate yearly. We will continue to provide the best educational experience possible for all our students. Each day, we will strive to prepare our learners to be productive, global citizens of tomorrow.
We cannot do this important work without the collaboration of our families and community partners. I look forward to collaborating with all stakeholders as we work to make our students’ middle school experience top-notch, here at Nathan Hale. Please reach out to the school if you need assistance, have questions, or want to give feedback.
When it comes to educating young people, my philosophy is simple; all students can learn, and it is up to all of us to guide and facilitate learning that is meaningful, impactful, and prepare them for a bright future.
Together we shine!
