Principal's Message
I’m very humbled to serve as the newly appointed Principal at South Pike High School. I have over 17 years of experience educating youth in inner-city and rural neighborhoods in Chicago, IL, Hattiesburg, MS, and Seminary, MS from grades K-12. I am looking forward to an exciting year of learning and growing with our students, working with teachers, parents, and community members here in the South Pike School District.I began my educational career as a Teacher at the San Miguel Schools of Chicago. During this time at the San Miguel Schools, I held the titles of Teacher, Director of Graduate Support, Dean of Students, and School Principal. When the San Miguel Schools closed, I was offered a position at the Catalyst Charter Schools as the Director of Culture and Discipline.
I also held titles of Teacher and Dean of Students at the Chicago Public Schools. I moved to Hattiesburg, MS in 2014 with my wife of 15 years. I was employed with the Hattiesburg Public School District as Teacher and then Lead Teacher. I later became Principal of Seminary Middle School in Seminary, MS.
My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to stop in, call or email me to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas to help make this the best year yet! I feel truly blessed to be the instructional leader of such an awesome school community.
Remember, Today is a GREAT day to be an Eagle!!!
