Favorite things about being a principal: 
I love the opportunity to interact every day with students who are working toward the attainment of meaningful life goals.  I believe we should infuse a sense of enthusiasm in all our endeavors as educators because every day is an opportunity to move closer to the attainment of those learning goals.  Education administration is a deeply rewarding enterprise because I get the chance to play a significant role in helping all students, the school, and the community work together on behalf of positive learner outcomes.
