A Word
Superintendent
Excellence and compassion are at the heart of my professional beliefs, values and priorities. Intellectual rigor–using one’s mind well to solve complex problems–is of the utmost importance to me. At the same time, compassion is paramount; our excellent students will be the keys to a civil, just, caring nation and world. My multi-year goal is to guide Weston to even greater heights in its stated mission of “empowering each student to achieve success and contribute to our global society…and to serve as part of a caring and supportive community.” Possibly more than ever before, our Nation and World need the dedicated minds, hearts and hands of our students and graduates.
