Meet Our Principal
Throughout my career, I have learned that the development of strong relationships cannot be undervalued. I would like to invite you to share with me what makes you a proud member of the Mann community and what I can do to help our school move forward together. I look forward to building these relationships and learning together with the staff. I firmly believe that every child can learn at high levels and that regular collaborative opportunities are important not just for student learning but professional learning as well.
In closing, please know that my door is open and I am ready to serve my community. I readily welcome your partnership and positive input throughout the coming school year. Keeping our focus on students and success for all will help keep us all focused and lead us to many future celebrations of our collective success. I look forward to starting our new chapter together as a fellow Mann Mustang!
