Serving Hawthorne High School for a decade, most recently as the school’s Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, I strongly believe in the importance of both academics and athletics in helping our students achieve success both in and out of high school. My philosophy in education and athletics is the same, I believe in hands-on, proactive instruction which allows students to grow beyond the classroom and field. As the administrator in charge of school security, in the ever-changing world where security is the forefront of educational concerns, my number one priority remains the safety of the entirety of Hawthorne High School’s staff and student body.
