Our School

Skipper Nation,

With this letter I would like to officially welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year where we once again get an exciting opportunity to make a difference in our students' lives. I am honored and excited to be a member of the incredible staff at Mandeville High. As your principal, I look forward each day to strengthening the relationships that I have begun building with all of our wonderful students, teachers, talented staff, and community members. Continued success comes forth when we provide experiences that are engaging, meaningful, and challenging. Mandeville High has a rich history of fine academic, athletic, and extracurricular accomplishments. We are proud of this excellent tradition, and we are excited about the great things to come.

The administration prides itself on being easily accessible and willing to assist in any way possible. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can. Once again, welcome back to what will be an outstanding school year at Mandeville High and Seas the Day!
