Welcome Ms. Chavier as Assistant Principal
Trenton and Isaac give a warm welcome to Ms. Chavier.
Ms. Chavier has joined us after many years as an Associate Principal at Dartmouth High School.
Her message to students and staff:
I am so excited to be joining all of you today as I begin my new journey here at Apponequet! I have spent the last 10 years leading students at Dartmouth High school as their Associate Principal and before that as an English Teacher. My ultimate joy in life is working with teens and channeling all that energy you have into all those wonderful experiences that will mold you into contributing citizens. I’ve heard so much about all of you and look forward to getting to know you. High School is an exciting time where you begin to plan your futures and develop your interests whether they be in athletics, music, the arts, or theater and of course academics! I am here to support you through your high school experience so you can become all that you have dreamed to be! I look forward to getting to know all of you and becoming part of the laker team. Please don’t hesitate to stop by and introduce yourself as I begin to get to know all of you. My office door is always open. Let the journey begin.
