Quotes

"Jeffrey considers being a prime directive and what is best for student. In most cases, that would be to work with and support his coaches, but not always. I have seen him make very decisive changes when they were warranted and spend hours to keep a student from being ill treated or excluded. He thinks through every problem fairly and "by the book" to ensure that every regulation is followed." -Rima Vesilind, Principal of West Potomac High School
