"I was fortunate to meet Dennis McKesey during my first year as a principal and he has played a critical role in my leadership and the school’s success. Dennis has enabled me to think outside the box in terms of leadership. Dennis works closely with the instructional cabinet, looking at teacher effectiveness, teacher teams, school data, and so much more. This year Dennis guided me through my first Quality Review and for the first time our school received a preliminary rating of proficient in all indicators. I look forward to working with Dennis for many years to come."
