And just like that…year 4 as KMSSI Principal in the books. This has been the most rewarding year of my career. This year taught me the true power of strong systems, structures and teamwork. Thank you KMSSI for an amazing year of hard-work, love and community. Congratulations c/o 2026.

OUR SCHOOL PRIDE TELLS THE STORY!
This week while welcoming in a group of rising 6th graders with our chant, our 8th graders were shouting it from the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC. It’s more than a chant, this is evidence of a school culture that is Rooted and Grounded! @KetteringMiddle
