To Whom It May Concern:

When I was interviewed for a position at Ridgeland High School, the Principal asked me where I saw myself in five years; my sure response was administration. I did not need time to think about it because it had been pressed upon my heart before hand. I would love to share with you as to why at a later time. Since then, I have been working on as much experience as I could get my hands on thereby learning from the administrative staff at Ridgeland High School.

For the past two years I have been part of an administrative trainee program at RHS. During this time I have job shadowed and been given duties of an administrator at RHS. I have served with AP Coach Parrott on a discipline committee and have aided him with his responsibilities as Athletic Director during this past year’s football season. I have gleaned information and application from AP Gary Record throughout the mornings and afternoons as he would equip and give me hands on training opportunities with his duties. I have been called upon to substitute for administrators when they are absent during morning, lunch and bus duties. It has been my pleasure to be in charge of the 9th Grade Academy Incentive Committee and helping Mr. Record with those duties as well. I have also sought to learn how tribunals operate and how cases are presented before the panel and were able to serve with Gary Record to present a case. I have also been asked to be part of the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports committee, I am also certified in this area from the State. I was selected by the administration to be TKES Credentialed as an evaluator. Being part of the pilot program for TKES for the past three years, I could provide vital information to teachers who have to implement this for the first time this year. Other experiences include learning how to implement and manipulate the master schedule and teacher duties and responsibilities. I know that my experiences at Ridgeland have opened my eyes to a different world- a world to which that of an average teacher is unaware.

I would like to take some time to give you an idea of who I am besides just an employee with Walker County Schools. I am a former combat veteran that could prove beneficial to the safety of your school. As a former Non-Commissioned officer (NCO) I have trained many soldiers to meet the demands and tresses of combat as well as being the example for them to follow. I understand the Army’s BE KNOW DO principles of leadership and l try to implement such leadership as an Administrative Trainee at Ridgeland High School. I am a husband and father of
