I am student-focused and believe that to educate 21st Century learners for success today and the future, all stakeholders must be involved. By bringing students, parents, staff, business & industry, and post-secondary institutions together, I have successfully developed and implemented relevant, rigorous and reality-based curriculum, academic experiences, and interventions for all students at Hatboro-Horsham.
