Dear Dolphin parents, students, and staff,
I am very happy to serve as Lucile Souders’ Assistant Principal. It has been my experience that schools work best when the entire community rallies together to support students’ social, emotional, academic and physical growth, and Lucile Souders is definitely that place. I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful community of dynamic teachers and staff who are all “Champions for Children”. As we approach this school year with a growth mindset, we will create a culture that values continuous improvement via intentional goal setting and reflective thinking. I look forward to working collaboratively with you during the school year as our Dolphin family continues to foster a positive school climate where all staff and students achieve personal success.
