Welcome to 7th grade School Orientation page. I am happy and excited to be working with 7th grade students this school year.

My role is multifaceted, where I will be working as your child's college crew teacher-delivering college crew instruction, serving as a mentor, guidance counselor, academic adviser and advocate. Please do not hesitate to e-mail or call at any time [email protected] or #438-4029.
