I thoroughly enjoyed my previous service to the students, staff, and community and can’t wait to get back to work with them. Exciting times are ahead with the new building and I’m
grateful for the opportunity. I would like to thank Mr. Clayton and the school’s advisory leadership team for placing their confidence in me. I am prepared to get to work and focus on moving the needle forward for our students,” said Porter following the announcement.
