Testimonials
Current Principal
Princess’ supportive backbone gives the students the foundation to transform. She is always connecting with the students beyond the academic level. She is a role model not only for the students, but also for the staff. We feel very fortunate to have Princess. We feel very proud of the community we have built, she’s got a great team of peers who support and rally behind her.
Former
Co-Assistant Principal
Princess' long view is essential for a school leader and proves to be one of her strongest qualities. It is obvious in working with her that she is thinking about not just a day or semester, but years ahead and that inspires confidence in those around her. Her unwavering commitment to achieving the vision of her community is what makes her such a dedicated leader for our teachers, and most importantly, children's futures.
Teacher
She taught me a lot by not telling me to do {this or that], but by asking the question to help me figure out how to achieve success through my own [teaching] style. She really helped shape how I think about teaching in my classroom. She transformed me as a first-year teacher, and I can’t imagine all the people she has coached in her time in teaching and how that has positively impacted the students.
Former Student
Because of this woman, I developed an interest in Chemistry and Anatomy & Physiology when I was in high school. I was completely determined to never go to college because I never had an interest in anything. Because of her, I went to college for biology/pre-medical and started my journey into the medical field. Until this day, I am still on this path, but it wouldn't have been possible if Franny hadn't been my chemistry teacher that junior year.
