I look forward to building upon the foundation for continuous success established by Principal Fabrizio, the faculty and staff, and all the generations of supportive families and community members who comprise Tiger Nation. I look forward to meeting and learning from all as we collectively pursue our school’s mission of ensuring every student graduates college and career capable.”
