What does Brooklyn East mean to me? It’s a family that loves each other and are together to help each other.

Brooklyn East Collegiate

We are at an amazing moment – the schools of children, families, and communities that have been written off for generations are now at the center of our public policy and debate.

Our bottom line is our college graduation rates and the graduates themselves. Who do they become? What role will they play in sustaining themselves, their families, and their communities? What will their mark be on our city and on the world?

Working collaboratively with bright people every day is a privilege. We push each other to be both innovative and student-centered in every strategy decision. And we're a fun bunch!

I am most appreciative of the discipline, tough love, coaching, encouraging words, high standards for academics, and also the reward for a job well done.
