Powerful Partnerships: Making a difference to build a brighter future together

Education is not a journey we navigate alone. It takes strong partnerships—with parents, community stakeholders, local businesses, and nonprofit organizations—to truly make a difference. To make these partnerships powerful, we must engage in intentional planning and collaboration, ensuring that each initiative aligns with the vision of our district and our partners.

30,000 decisions

I’ve read numerous articles and studies suggesting that the average person makes about 35,000 decisions a day. Whether or not that number is exact, one thing I do know firsthand is that as a leader, decision-making is constant—and the weight of those decisions can be heavy.

Leading together for a brighter future

As I start my third year as Superintendent of Berkeley County School District, I’m both humbled and grateful. The last two years have been a mix of challenges and celebrations, but most importantly, they’ve been full of opportunities to grow and serve.
