Margaret MeadMargaret Mead

" Never doubt that a small group of citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”

role of school leaders is to broaden the acceptance of leadership among many

staff who share a common vision. Quadrant D Leadership is the

collaborative responsibility for taking action to reach the future oriented

goal of the intellectual, emotional and physical needs of each student.
