Experience and Training
"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." —John Maxwell
"As a former district superintendent I was the voice of many facets of my community. Most importantly, I was the voice of my students. I worked for their betterment. It was my job to ensure that they received the very best education possible. To do this, I enlisted the full resources of my staff, my board of education, and my community. Any job in education requires nothing less."--John Denk
