I wanted to make a special tribute to Mr. Quigley, my son's school principal for his dedication, determination and commitment. He has been a very important teacher to my daughter as well. Our school has been awarded blue ribbon status ( only 314 public and private schools achieved this status, out of more than 120,000 public and private schools in the nation) under his tenure. He made a such an impact in our community and will be greatly missed. I hope he enjoys his more than deserved retirement.
