If it's a great senior class, it's a great school year.

The more connections students make with teachers and administrators, the better environment a school will have.

Every day I deal with the same 20 percent of students; as assistant principal (along with assistant principal Kara Cotton) I deal with discipline. (But) I like to hear from the kids, about their life, education, passions, things they like, don't like. It's why I got into education in the first place, to talk to students about those things.

I call the students down the day before to ask if they want to attend. About 99 percent do, if they remember. I get asked all the time, when juniors are called down to my office, 'I hope this is about Breakfast Club'.

We're the first class (at Robbinsville High School). Everything is new. We're setting all the records and stuff.

We have a Class-A school, a jewel in this town. We want a Class-A facility.
