A keynote address was delivered by 2023 Assistant Principal Fellow Dr. Deangello Eley. He expressed his appreciation by saying: “Unlike other professions, as educators, we have a special duty of care, a special relationship, and a shared responsibility to the public to SERVE and add VALUE to our society. The communities we serve expect a high return on their investment because they entrust us with their most precious gift in the world, their children.”
