It was this question during my ASFM interview that inspired me to become an Eagle. As I think you know by now, I’m the newest Eagle on the administrative team assuming the role of Assistant Superintendent of Innovation and Learning.

We finished last school year in distance learning and began this school year in distance learning - unprecedented, unique, and unappealing for everyone involved.
