Dr. Tyrrell began her career in education in 2005 as a physical education teacher at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School.

I will be relentless in creating an inclusive school culture in which every student feels a sense of belonging that creates the conditions for achievement within all areas of the high school experience,” Dr. Tyrrell said. “The best principals put their heart and soul into creating an elite school culture and climate and being present and visible within the school community.
