Background
Andrew was raised in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of South Seattle by a long time Seattle Schools’ elementary teacher and a
carpenter. Andrew learned the value of education and a strong work
ethic at an early age. These values have contributed to his philosophy
of leadership and have always provided guidance in his career in
education. He is a 1997 graduate of Franklin High School and has always
maintained the Quaker spirit. Returning to Franklin as an assistant
principal in 2015 was truly a homecoming for Andrew and he has never wavered in
representing Quaker pride in all that he does. Part of this work for him
is collaborating with the school community to ensure that each Franklin
student receives high quality instruction all the time.
Andrew is proud to serve the Franklin community in his role now as Principal.
