Our School's Leadership Team

Dedicated to Redefining Success for Every Student

When it comes to their impact on learning, a school's administrative leadership is second only to classroom teachers when it comes to impact on learning. They shape the conditions that foster the personal and professional growth of students and faculty. As a result, they're a prime factor in retaining quality teachers for the institution.

At TAS, we believe that our administrators are teachers, too – the teachers of our teachers. They set the direction for the school and serve as role models to all within our community.  

Look at the areas where TAS has invested in critical areas of educational leadership. We hope you will read through our leaders' bios to learn more about their past experiences and current experiences at TAS!
