"I have no doubt that the future holds even greater achievements for this remarkable institution.”ĭuring his time as headmaster, the release said, Zequeira oversaw the implementation of new academic programs, campus facility renovations and expansions, and navigation of the COVID-19 pandemic “as the largest school in the state to be fully open, in-person, five days a week during the 2020-2021 school year." “I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to the final 13 months of my time at the school continuing to focus on the growth and strategic vision set forth by our community,” Zequeira said.
