Social change is the result of a Successful Education.
Successful Education can be the result of a Social Change.
Making a difference in the world, is the result of an experienced based education,
combined with good core values, truth everlasting. Educators must begin working together to create
a just society and democracy.
The success of all students is a direct result of their thirst for knowledge, their dedication, effort,
determination, integrity, and vision quality are enhanced and developed by knowledge that has
been raised out of experimentation through a real life experience. Their Knowledge should be
used as a tool in bringing forth what is within this brings out the potential to lead.
These are the foundations on which my educational philosophies are built.

Educational Philosophy
Quality and integrity is the foundation on which all things should begin and end, for it is the quality of the program, the
environment and the integrity of the leadership that dictates the success of my students and ensures their quality of life. The
success of my students is a direct reflection of my leadership.

administrative positions and have always advocated that education should occur in environments that will foster cooperative and
interactive learning, good life skills, a love, knowledge and awareness of Arts ,Culture, technological advancements and

I have further promoted in my works that each one teach one ensuring good community service skills. In my years
