Dear DC21 Families,
I am writing to share the news that I have been asked to support at Manual High School for the next six weeks after the resignation of their school’s principal. I am honored to accept and support these young scholars during this transition.
However, I also want to assure you that I will continue to be a presence at DC21 during this time and I am not interested in applying for the permanent role of school leader at Manual.
I met today with our teachers and students at DC 21 to tell them this news personally. I have complete faith in my leadership team and in our assistant principal, Mr. Lopez, who will lead while I am not in the building. He has been part of our team for three years, and shares the same personal values and vision for our school as I do.
Please know I view these last three months of our school year as critical to maintaining our School Performance Framework rating of Green, and I plan to be at our school every day during this transition.
If you have questions or concerns, I am available to talk with you. Please reach out to me at 720-424-3016 or renard_simmons@dpsk12.org.
Sincerely,
Renard Simmons
Principal
