Welcome to our High
School website
– our virtual presence.
My life changed in
August of 1999. At that time, I departed from my
family and friends in
Boston,
Massachusetts and arrived to Cali, Colombia with limited
experience as a teacher and even less knowledge of the
Latin American culture. My fortunes improved
drastically in 2003 when I received a position as the
grade eight Social Studies teacher at Colegio Bolivar.
From the moment that I began working in the Middle
School, my professional development has dramatically
increased. While working with an incredibly dedicated
group of teachers, I was allowed to grow and develop as
a strong teacher and eventually, as a positive leader.
After receiving a Masters degree in Education from
Western Carolina University that was made possible by
Colegio Bolivar, I am honored to be appointed as the
High School Principal.
The High School at Colegio Bolivar is a unique
environment that allows for the positive social and
academic development of our students. Teachers work
diligently to provide multiple styles of instruction and
assessment, and they are encouraged to experiment with
various educational strategies. As the newly-appointed
principal of this section, I have the privilege of
working with the teachers and counselors to assist in
our process of developing the academic and social skills
of our students. I am constantly inspired by the
efforts of the High School teachers as they work above
and beyond to make the Bolivar community exceptionally
positive and unique.
The Colegio Bolivar community has provided an
abundance of support and confidence in my growth as a
professional in education. I now take on the challenge
of working to provide balanced attention to the details
necessary in maintaining my responsibilities. As the
new High School principal of Colegio Bolivar, I intend
to work with my total dedication to establish a solid
foundation for the education and development of our
students while upholding the strong tradition of
leadership in our community.
