EH: What have you and the other administrators done to make the most of this year?

DT: We have relied on the strength, innovation, and grit of our senior class for inspiration. We are so grateful! 

EH: What are some of your most memorable moments from this year?

DT: Prom was Lawmazing! I can’t wait for graduation, too. But the most memorable times will be my interactions with our student leaders in planning activities to keep our school spirit and engagement up. 

EH: What is your favorite thing to do around the school?

DT: I love talking to students, visiting classes, and working with our leaders (students and teachers) on ways to make our school the best place it can be. 

EH: What changes do you plan on making for the next school year?

DT: A lot depends on the guidelines we receive from our health department.  I am excited to make it the best year possible for all of our school family.
