Principal's Page at Summit Hill Elementary

My goal as a principal is to establish a community of self-learners and self-managers - where everyone believes that every student can learn, where school serves the whole student, where respect is honored, and where an interdependent and reciprocal partnership exists between parents, students, staff, and community. As a school leader, I want to be tireless in our quest for the most effective components of learning, from strategic to practical.

My conviction is for every student to find a level of success, to participate in setting his or her goals and have the resources necessary to accomplish those goals. I hope that students leave the school feeling successful in their accomplishments and prepared for the next stage in their lives. I hope that staff members feel respected, valued, and supported in meeting their own professional personal goals and that I will have been a facilitator of their success. --- Nancy J. Murphy
