As Head of School, my goal is to provide the highest quality education for our students. Research has proven that for dyslexic students, an Orton-Gillingham (O-G) based structured literacy program like ours is the best and only way that they will learn. That being said, I am a firm believer that there is always something we can do to improve our program every year.

A lot of things changed over the summer at the dePaul School! Over the summer months we remodeled and expanded several areas - creating 2 new classrooms, additional administrative space and a fresh, new library. With the additional classrooms, we were able to increase enrollment to 76 students. With 76 students we needed additional teachers. With additional students and teachers came the need for a second fulltime administrator!

After attending the International Dyslexia Association's Annual Conference recently, I am once again filled with pride and reminded of how strong our school is! I toured the Shelton School in Dallas, the largests LD school in the U.S. with over 890 students. What I took away from that tour is that we do everything as well (in some cases I would say better!) as they do - just on a smaller scale.
