To say that this is an exciting and challenging time to be a principal is an understatement! The list of initiatives is endless. The precarious economic climate adds to the dynamic. In these times we need a strong organization to support principals. I am excited at the possibility of being a part of the team that designs that support.

I have enjoyed twenty years as an administrator and have seen a variety of initiatives, but have also met and worked with outstanding administrators who have student success at their core. The excitement and commitment of administrators throughout the state keeps me focused on this best of all careers.

Administrators need support to keep the spotlight on the work being done in every school and every district. Parents, communities, and legislators need to be kept appraised of the challenges we face and assistance we need. MASSP has been a beacon in this endeavor. I would be honored to be part of the team.

I would very much appreciate your support for the office of MASSP Secretary.
