Humanity; appreciating our differences, learning from each other and focusing on the good and positive aspects of folks reflects Ms Taylor’s values as a person. She hopes to bring an inspiring and kind energy, one that fosters collaboration, positivity and innovation. She hopes to grow together with SMAS, to continue to provide the excellent programs and educational opportunities that you all have created.
Ms. Taylor will bring support and commitment to the staff and students. Her commitment to you and what we do as educators extends beyond just a job and title, it is something she holds dear to her heart, something she respects, honors and cherishes. She will be the leader that keeps the student at the center, while always supporting and upholding staff. She may not always have the answer but together with the team, she will find it.
For the first time in our recent history, we are faced with not only a lethal pandemic, but the horrors of existing systemic racial injustice in our society. We as educators hold the key to transforming lives, to overcoming injustice and empowering people to be their best selves. – this journey is something Ms. Taylor looks forward to taking together
