Behind every great school is an administrator who absorbs a thousand problems so teachers can focus on what matters. They take the heat, make the hard calls, and rarely get the thank-you they deserve. This one's for the principals, directors and superintendent for being the glue that holds it all together.
Mr. Naples thank you for keeping the spark alive in welding!
You matter
Take your shot. You can do it.
