Dear Willingboro High School Community and Families,

The 2024-2025 school year is nearly upon us. As such, it is my sincere pleasure to introduce myself as the new principal of Willingboro High School. I feel excited and fortunate to join a community focused on student learning, committed to character development, and steadfast in providing a joyful educational experience for your child. With your help and insight, it is my intent to build a reputation of excellence and help take our school to great heights. 

While I am new to the community this school year, 2024-2025 will be my 19th year in education. For the past three years, I have served as the principal of Woodbury Junior-Senior High School. For the years prior that I was a Principal at Camden High School and Pride Academy in Camden New Jersey. 

I am honored to serve as the principal of one of the most historic high schools in New Jersey. Our students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of academic and extracurricular  offerings that allow students to explore interest or engage in new experiences. Our goal is to help students find their way through high expectations and high support. 

As an educator I have always believed that building rapport with students and families is critical towards successfully supporting students in achieving their greatest potential. I am committed to the work of establishing a positive school community, which requires an intentional focus on relationship building, characterized by seeing each person as worthy of dignity, value and respect. I also believe that, “more is caught than taught,” which essentially means that our example, what we model for our students, is what will have the most impact on how they interact and engage with the school community. Your support and involvement are crucial in helping us create a positive and nurturing environment that fosters learning and growth. We encourage and need you to be an active participant in your child’s education by engaging in open communication with our teachers and staff, participating in school events, and supporting your child’s learning at home. 

WE are stronger together. I look forward to collaborating with you and welcome any suggestion or feedback you may have as we work toward the common goal of your child’s success. 

Thank you for your partnership and trust in us to provide the best possible education for your child.
