All Students Can Achieve
Putting student needs first was at the heart of the vision at all the schools. At James Madison High School in San Diego, CA, Assistant Principals Barry Mangan and Jeff Luna said Virginia Eves has a focus on students and that “you see it every day.” Eves implemented a student recognition value system and has a belief in students that drives everything she does. She sets high expectations for herself and her staff members and has established guiding principles that she stands firmly by: all students can achieve, and all teachers need to embrace the fact that all students can achieve.
