About

Faculty & Staff Directory

The kids are awesome, and that makes teaching a lot of fun. Every student is into school, and that just means the world to me. I come to class every day excited...
Priory educators think the best academic growth occurs when students work and relax with talented teachers who know them well. Priory education is structured to foster these genuine relationships. The Priory selects teachers who welcome this role, as well as the role of academic leadership in a rigorous college preparatory curriculum.
