Principal’s Corner
Welcome Back to School
Anybody who knows me will tell you that my motto in education is to “Get MAD – Make A Difference in someone’s life.” I got this motto from my father during the summer between my senior year in high school and freshmen year in college. I know it’s hard to believe but I was once a young student as well. During that summer I remember being extremely excited to start a new chapter of my life but also extremely nervous about the path that lay ahead of me. I remember asking my Dad “What is my purpose in life?” This is what my Dad told me and thus the beginning of my motto for years to come. “No matter what you decide to do, pick your corner of the world to work and live in and Make A Difference in the lives of those around you. After that conversation with my father, I felt the anxiety melt away from my body and filled me with the confidence that I needed to give my life purpose.
So my advice to all my students this year worrying about “finding their purpose” is this, purpose in life isn’t an outside job, it’s an inside job. It doesn’t come from the friends you have or the work you do, but rather from the meaning and purpose you bring to your daily life. I want to encourage all of you not to seek happiness. Instead live your passion and purpose and happiness will find you throughout this school year. Don’t chase success. Instead, decide to “Make A Difference” in the lives of those around you with a greater purpose and the 2023-2024 school year will be your most successful one yet.
Get MAD. Make A Difference.
