I have been lucky enough to be a part of Maritime for the last 5 years.  I am currently the Deputy Vice Commandant (middle school principal) and have been at the middle school since 2021.

We have a unique culture here at Maritime.  We teach students self-discipline.  Our mission is made up of four cornerstones: Academic Excellence, Character Development, Physical Development, and Leadership Development.

At the middle school, we host grades 5-8. We have a PBIS program (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) which is a tiered framework that makes our school a more successful place. It establishes a social culture and gives the behavior supports needed to improve social, emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes for all students.

I received my undergraduate from Buffalo State University and my graduate degree from Oneonta College.  I went on to Buffalo State University to complete the Educational Leadership program for both building and district certifications.
