"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." Aristotle
With a deep sense of enthusiasm and gratitude, I accept the position of Head of School at Saint John's School. I look forward to partnering with the Board of Trustees and building upon Dr. María Meléndez's solid legacy as we move Saint John's School to new heights.
Saint John's School's mission is to develop our students' unique gifts and inspire them to reach their full moral and academic potential. This outstanding education encompasses integrity and compassion and imbues these virtues in a dynamic learning environment. Academic excellence and civic engagement are core values that our society needs to foster our human family's much-needed significant and inclusive development.
I fully commit myself to becoming that academic and adaptive leader that serves Saint John's School as a catalyst for the advancement of all its stakeholders. Saint John's School's graduates will "shape a changing world" because they have experienced this education of the mind and of the heart and thus are ready to impact our communities in thoughtful, noble, and generous ways.
