"I am often asked, what is so special about Palatine. I must say, that I really think it is the people. We
have a great community that supports our schools in everyway possible. Whether it is attending one of
our school events, a play, a concert, a sporting event, a dance or an awards ceremony, our community;
teachers, students and parents, all support the school and each other. I walk down the halls or into
classrooms and I see students and faculty who are actively engaged in the teaching and learning
process. I see students who support, encourage and respect each other. I see students who enjoy being
at Palatine and parents who are glad that their students are here and that support the school and our
students. It may sound cliché, but I see a family. I see people with a common purpose and goal and
I couldn't think of anywhere else I would rather be Principal at, than at Palatine High School. It truly is
a special place and I'm proud to be a part of it.
