@NAESP Me too!

Maryland United is always a treat! A chance to laugh, learn, and listen alongside Maryland’s best leaders. The most touching 5 minutes of my career came when dear mentor Nicole Sosik introduced me. So grateful for the mentors who continue to inspire and fill my cup!

How can we embed joy, trust, and mutual wellbeing within our schools? Our staff’s wellbeing is crucial to the climate our students learn in.

The Maryland Report Card is in! Proud to be cheering for two schools: Flower Hill, with an incredible 11-point jump, and White Oak, now within striking distance of 4 stars! Two amazing communities, so much to celebrate. We are just getting started!

The ball made its way around MCPS, and it finally landed with us. Thank you to our fellow MCPS mascots for passing it along! 🏈

Any morning with @FHESFalconAP is a good one! Former AP and now director of Outdoor Education!

[Dr. Joshua Fine @FinestEducator]

White Oak welcomed nearly 100 alumni from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s to honor our school’s history and support renaming the gym after founding Building Service Manager Clayton Powell. A powerful reminder that school communities last a lifetime. #WhiteOakWildCats

Outdoor Education for our grade 6 students is a pretty transformative experience which bonds both students and teachers with one another in nature. Cool to witness and never seems to get old.

[Dr. Joshua Fine @FinestEducator]

Two of the most outstanding principals in all of Maryland. @FinestEducator @HeyDrDaniel @Maespmd @NAESP

[Dr. Joshua Fine @FinestEducator]

For 40+ years, State Principals of the Year have gathered in DC to celebrate the National Distinguished Principals. Inspired by leaders across the country sharing their stories and reminding us why we do this work: children, families, and communities. An honor to be among them!

[MAESP @Maespmd]
