I am honored and grateful to have been selected as the D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School principal in an ongoing capacity. I sincerely thank the Steering Committee, Principal Hiring Committee, parent, student, and faculty/staff interview teams, and Jeffco Schools personnel for their support of my candidacy for the principal position. I appreciate the support I have felt from throughout the D’Evelyn community during my interim appointment to the principal position, as well as in the application process. Additionally, I am very thankful to have the support of my loving family and friends, who in many ways provide the support needed for me to fulfill the responsibilities of the D’Evelyn principal position.
It is an honor to serve as the leader of this great school. I share a sincere belief in the greatness of the D’Evelyn program, as outlined in the Program Document and carried out in the school each day. I am thankful that this educational opportunity is available to D’Evelyn students - high behavioral and academic standards, a rigorous liberal arts curriculum, and a knowledgeable, committed faculty delivering our rich education to all students. Most importantly, I believe that the cumulative benefits of the six-year D’Evelyn program are so great that students will be prepared for their future - personally, socially, academically, and professionally - regardless of their pursuits after high school. I am grateful to fulfill this position for a myriad of reasons. It is wonderful to lead a school filled with students dedicated to learning and personal growth. It is both beneficial and refreshing to serve this school community, where families have a shared sense of the value of education and its importance in the development of each child. I am constantly impressed by the expertise and service of our faculty and staff, and am confident that D’Evelyn students and families are fortunate to share in the work of our committed faculty and staff. I also appreciate the support, and guidance of the D’Evelyn Steering Committee, working to ensure that the vision of the D’Evelyn philosophy is lived each day in our school. I feel a combination of relief and excitement to move into the “permanent” principal role. I understand that the D’Evelyn principalship carries great responsibility and expectations. It is my sincere commitment to ensure that the D’Evelyn program, as outlined in our Founding Document, stays consistent, and is available to students for years to come. However, I share my additional, and more pressing, commitment with you that I take my responsibility to lead this school in the present very seriously. While I am personally able to see and celebrate the excellent traits of D’Evelyn, I am committed to leading the school in a way that supports D’Evelyn students and celebrates their many successes. I will lead the school in a manner that honors our philosophy and the many great practices already existing in the school, while maintaining a consistent eye on areas where we can improve as a school and system. I look forward to serving the D’Evelyn community as principal for many years. I am confident that my experience, leadership, and decision-making will provide a clear vision for the school going forward. Thank you for your support of D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School - I am excited to work with you and serve this community going forward. Comments are closed.
