Hunter’s Core Beliefs
Students
At my core, my beliefs center around the unwavering commitment that students must always be the focal point of decision-making processes. I firmly believe in ensuring equity for all students, providing each individual with the same enriching educational experience, regardless of background or circumstance. Moreover, we need to prioritize maintaining rigorous academic standards in the classroom to challenge and empower our students to reach their full potential. These principles guide our actions and shape our approach to education, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students.
Educators & Staff
I am dedicated to supporting our educators and staff in many ways to enhance their professional and personal lives. One crucial aspect of our commitment is ensuring competitive pay rates for all our employees. By providing our educators and staff with the compensation they deserve, we aim to reduce financial stress and allow them to focus on their primary goal of educating and supporting our students.
In addition to competitive pay, I strive to make the lives of our educators and staff easier by maintaining low class sizes. By keeping class sizes small, we create an environment where teachers can provide personalized attention to each student, leading to better learning outcomes and a more manageable workload for our educators.
Furthermore, I prioritize giving our educators the professional respect they deserve. We understand the critical role teachers play in shaping the future generation and actively work to acknowledge and appreciate their hard work and dedication. By valuing and respecting our educators as professionals, we create a positive and supportive work culture that empowers our employees to thrive.
Lastly, we are committed to uplifting and embracing all our employees, recognizing that each individual brings unique skills, perspectives, and experiences to our school community. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, collaboration, and support, we strive to create a work environment where every staff member feels valued, respected, and empowered to make a difference.
Safety
Keeping Students and Staff Safe: A Top Priority at Hunter Holt 4 Marana Schools.
The safety of our students and staff is of utmost importance. It is our top priority to create a secure and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive without any threats to their well-being. This commitment to safety is ingrained in every decision we make and every action we take.
One significant example of our dedication to safety is the recent approval and passing of a $90 million bond. This substantial investment allowed us to implement major security upgrades across all our school facilities. These upgrades are designed to enhance the overall safety measures and ensure that our school spaces are well-equipped to handle any security challenges that may arise.
Additionally, I strongly support the presence of School Resource Officers (SROs) at every school within our district. These trained professionals play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and secure learning environment by being present, building positive relationships with students, and providing immediate responses to any security concerns that may emerge.
