ABOUT ME
I have worked diligently throughout each level of my career attaining valuable knowledge and experiences to equip me with the necessary tools to effectively impact and service my community.
Over the course of my endeavors, I have consistently worked towards being the best version of myself in all facets. My interscholastic and intercollegiate experiences in academia and athletics have long instilled in me the importance of servant leadership, discipline, work ethic, collaboration, and successfully completing tasks. I am dedicated to excellence and remain a firm believer in adding value to the people and things that I am connected to.
As an interscholastic professional, I am proud to say that I understand the importance of instilling positive beliefs, collaboration, empathy, and accountability into a profession on any level to create a culture of community and success. I have worked side by side with educators to service students, families, and the community to lessen achievement gaps in the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. I am forever dedicated to empowering and preparing our youth to being the next generation of leaders as it is of great significance that they become productive, well-rounded, multifaceted individuals in the process.
The highest human act is to inspire as success isn't always about what you have accomplished, but who you have inspired.
Sincerly,
Paris McCarthy
