She has been visible to the community and is open to old traditions and new ideas. The communication is very easy and free flowing.

I have children at NYOS and I am very disapointed with the middle/high school principal. I don't feel like she cares enough for the 6th & 7th graders and doesn't try to offer them any of the extracurricular activites the are available for this age group at other schools. They seem less important to
