Following a servant’s heart and an understanding that student growth is the reason for our work, Dave spent over 36 years fostering the learning of students and fellow educators. As a principal for 26 of those years, Dave developed deep relationships with and has grown teachers to reach their maximum as they grew their students academically, socially and emotionally. Dave has led very unique schools at both the elementary and middle levels.

During his time as a leader at a Title I school, Dave was recognized by the Indiana Department of Education as a Distinguished Principal which led to him being able to mentor other Title schools throughout Indiana.
