Educational leader who refuses to make excuses to impede student learning. My life goal is to remove obstacles to learning so all students can be successful.

How administrators interact in the cafeteria, bus line, hallway, etc, may be more important for building relationships and culture than how they interact in a meeting or their office. Culture and morale are impacted by all interactions.

THIS! If you still doing the work, you’re not the leader. You’re the micromanager. Loving people and having them feel loved is the most important part of being responsible for the people.

@wardellhunterED @apsupdate @MrGuilford_SHMS Great discussions and networking which is so important in this work! We need each other!

[Dr. Norman @only1norman]

One of the hardest things to do is to refrain from telling your side of the story no matter how painful the narrative that is being portrayed may be. Know that things always come full circle and in due time the truth will be revealed. Keep moving forward. Your purpose awaits.

We had an amazing 3 days at MJHS welcoming our ninth graders to the building! #atlantapublicschools

@chccs @HelenaMThomas Amazing leader!!

[Dr. Norman @only1norman]

@Samantha_Fuhrey thank you for launching my leadership journey ten years ago. You will always be my first leadership teacher years ago in the PD office. You deserve to rest. Let your minions continue the work. Don’t turn your phone off though. We may still have questions.

Great teacher moment today. My son’s travel baseball team played a team today whose coach I taught when he was in ninth grade. He was coaching his son’s baseball team. When my son was on third base, he leaned over and said “Man, I love your dad.” Awesome moment. #stillateacher

Thank you @gcouros for challenging #ATLPublicSchools to innovate inside the box because structures are still important with innovation. 🙌🏼👏🏼

If you can’t lead yourself…how can you lead anyone else 🤷🏼‍♂️ This is powerful! Let people hate as you love and lead. #edleadership #leadership #beauthentic

You can't administrate a school to excellence. But when everyone contributes their talents, supports each other, feels valued, and appreciated, you create a team culture that leads to excellence.

Former First Lady @MichelleObama has spoken of strangers petting her dogs and stepping in front of her in line and not noticing that she was the First Lady. All they saw, or didn’t see, was a black woman. What’s your experience?

[Dr. Norman @only1norman]

Awesome Tuesday game!

[RidgeAD @PRidge_AD]

Both boys and girls basketball remain undefeated. The Lady Lions dominated Berkmar well the boys lead the entire way against the Patriots.
