Today, as she sets sail towards a well-deserved retirement, we raise a chorus of gratitude and admiration for her extraordinary service.
Principal Quigley, you have been more than just an administrator; you have been a champion for our students, a pillar of support for our staff, and a beacon of warmth for our families. Your vision has guided us through challenges and triumphs, your leadership has fostered a culture of excellence and inclusivity, and your passion for learning has ignited countless young minds. Our laughter echoing in the hallways, the creativity bursting from our classrooms, and the kindness radiating from our students – all bear the imprint of your remarkable leadership.
Thank you and Happy Retirement!
