So, so grateful for the work you've done for YEARS at BHS, and specifically the last two years where you've grown your leadership capacity and impact. As you always say - it's the case of first impressions at times - and yet you always dive into the complex and important work willingly. You're also a tremendous advocate for ensuring we expand the ways in which we support the different needs of scholars, and provide different pathways. BHS and the larger AF network is lucky to have you. And thanks for having me along for the ride :) - Caitlin

The job of a principal this year has been one of the hardest jobs I can imagine.  There are really no words to fully describe everything that you have had to manage and lead through on the daily.  Society has asked you to make school happen regardless of whether the people you need, the structures you need, or the tools you need are there.  And yet, you have led.  You have balanced creative solutions and grit to keep safety and care for the whole person and the opportunity for in-person learning to happen all front and center.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  We (AF and society at large) cannot thank you enough for all you have done and all of you have given this year.

Fredrick - I believe that, in this life, people come into our lives in ways that are meant to help teach us something and help us grow. We can only hope that we are able to do that in return. During our work together, you not only have taught me so much about life (what DO I do with this plant? what IS the best product for my curly type? what kind of music am I missing out on?) but you've also taught me that being a leader is something requires patience, persistence, grace, and being centered in values. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to learn that from you. Thank you for all that you've done for our seniors and their families to support them on their post-secondary path. Thank you for supporting your team as they navigated the post-secondary planning process in a COVID world that was so challenging. Thank you for being committed to our growth as a team to lead our work in a more equitable way. I appreciate you and am grateful to work alongside of you. With love and gratitude, Amy C

The History Team at Brooklyn High School is very lucky to have such a dedicated and thoughtful shepherd. Conversations with you reflect a deep desire to bring out the best in both students and teachers. It resonates that you very much want students to be engaged in productive and meaningful tasks that will give them the ability to engage in rich discussion and freely share ideas. The degree to which you genuinely care about the students at Brooklyn High School demonstrates your commitment to them and our broader community. Thanks for all you do!!!

Dumar - It has been AMAZING working with you this year. You exude passion for your team, for your school community, and for making High School at AF stronger every single day.
Visiting BHS and seeing your team in action is the bright spot of each week because I can see how deeply you believe in the work that you are doing, and in the power of the amazing teachers and leaders that you've assembled.

Thank you for pushing the HSLT to think bolder when it comes to what our kids and our HS staff need.

Looking forward to supporting you and the team as you continue to crush goals between now and June.
