“INTENTIONAL" OF 2023
Jeremy Moore, Ed.D
Passionate President at Skutt Catholic High School, Embracing Servant and Transformational Leadership. Committed to Mission-Driven Excellence, Fostering Belonging and Success for Every Student!
My word for the year 2023 was “Intentional.” Intentional means to be deliberate or done on purpose, getting clear and upfront about what you want to achieve. How are we intentional about how we care for, inspire, and encourage our students, teachers, and SkyHawk Community? How are we as a community being intentional about our mission and vision? Intentional about our love for each other and the love and peace of Jesus Christ!
