Catholic Family Man and Principal. Catholic Schools are one of the most important lands of opportunity. Don't ruin them.

What is the most satisfying moment as an educator? I genuinely love having alumni come back so excited to share what they are accomplishing to their former teachers.


"The responsibility of parents and their priority right in educational choices rank first. School choice must be made freely and according to conscience; hence the duty of civil authorities to make different options available in compliance with the law. The State is responsible…


Cell phone bans during school are necessary. Bigger question: are any schools implementing bans on social media accounts for elementary age students?

This is the cell phone policy being adopted by some of the local schools in my area. Thoughts? The feedback online has been mostly positive, but some parents are already complaining.

Catholics schools, Catholic identity should never feel like a separate academic department on our campuses. If our faith is departmentalized, we are failing.


Few things reshape behavior more reliably than the sting of your own forgetfulness. #education #parenting

It is good to get to a place where feeling consequences for actions is normal. A simple way we do this in our house. The kids know we won’t bring them forgotten lunches. They have emergency beef jerky in their backpacks, which they don’t like as much as their lunches. They eat…

Destructive philosophy from NEA. Very concerning.

The National Education Association handbook says "educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism, and white privilege." "Educators must also work to prohibit institutionally racist systems"

All Catholic school teachers and administrators: Read this book by @BrettSalkeld. Get him to do your PD and/or staff retreat. He presented to our staff and connected with teachers of all content areas, even math. 😂 Brett solves "adding Catholic identity to your lesson."

I agree, but what professional development is helpful to start the school year? I'm wondering especially given school starts a couple days later. Handbook/policy updates don't count. Those are typical of any faculty meeting and are not PD. #Teachersof𝕏 #SummerBreakIsEnding


If we only started the school year after Labor Day...


A Catholic school can often be evaluated accurately by the culture and Catholic identity of its Dads Club. Fathers make a profound difference when they spend time invested in their children's faith and education.


How many days or weeks are teachers given to set up their classrooms at the end of summer? What is really necessary? This is an administration discussion every year. #Teachersof𝕏


Our school leaders wrap every decision in prayer while supporting teachers and trying to meet the needs of all our students. We did not choose school administration for convenience. The stress and demand of this job takes years off a life. I am sorry if this isn't your experience…

School is not designed with your children in mind, and especially not your boys. It’s designed for the convenience of its administrators. For whom the natural proclivities of boys are particularly inconvenient. Your son’s energy is not the problem, the school is.

We need more men involved in education. And I don’t just mean teachers here. I’m talking about DADS. Guys, get involved. This is not just mom’s job.


Teachers are no longer sleeping through the night by this time of the year. #education #Teachersof𝕏


I found myself trying to remember and starting to listen to Coldplay songs for the first time on Spotify today. The trap was set. I walked into it.

A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking Washington Senate Bill 5375 from being enforced—a bill that would have forced Catholic priests to break the Seal of Confession—with Assistant Attorney Harmeet Dhillon fearlessly leading the fight against it.
