  • Counseling Department Chair
  • Dean of Students

When named principal, I was challenged by the superintendent to improve the academic achievement in an under-performing school. This challenge was the origin of my Instructional Improvement System. The implementation of this model resulted in moving the school from near the bottom of a nine high school district to second in academic achievement in a three-year period.

  • The Leadership Development Consortium
  • The Principal's Academy
  • The Instructional Improvement Model
  • The Instructional Specialist Program
  • The Principal and Assistant Principal Evaluation Systems
  • The Classroom Teacher Evaluation System
  • The Personnel Due Process, Discipline and Dismissal System
