My First Day

This was the first picture I took as Interim Principal of Doolen Global Studies Academy on my first day as Principal.  No words can describe how exciting it was to enter these hallowed doors on that day.  Thank you, Thunderbird family, for allowing me into your home.  I promise to do my very best.
