• It is my pleasure to serve as the Principal of Hillside High School. Under my leadership, I want the students of this great school to reach academic achievement that supersedes district and state expectations, while incorporating academic rigor, critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative learning as the core of our identity and culture. 

    Upon arriving to this amazing school, I have been able to see first-hand how HHS is recognized within the Durham community. It is my plan to use our platform to highlight the current and future successes of our students and teachers while serving as an instructional leader committed to extend the continued excellence that has been passed down from generations of Hillside scholars to our current generation. 

    As we embark on a journey to higher heights, I want to guarantee my best effort daily to provide our Hillside students with an educational experience that will prepare them for the challenges life has for them, but also the skillsets necessary to persevere through the inevitable adversities that will generate a more competitive and resilient societal citizen. Together, our goals can be set, and together they will be reached. I look forward to what the future holds for our school community. Hornet Pride!
