Achievement Award by his peers. The award honors principals whose
exemplary leadership and sustained efforts have made noteworthy

care.” Cheryl Kortuem, principal

“Mark always bases his decisions on what is best for students and is an
advocate for all children. He has
provided the changes needed in his schools in order to provide a high
