Colleen McQuade

"Colleen is a talented and creative individual."

"Colleen works hard and cares deeply about creating educational opportunities for underserved populations. And she has the experience to back it up. More than an educator, she's an advocate."

"I have been fortunate to work with Colleen for two years as my principal. She was always collaborative, provided constructive feedback, and helped my school grow in significant ways. She has a strong understanding of how schools operate and actively creates space for diverse perspectives in decision-making. Colleen builds meaningful opportunities for professional growth and reflection, Colleen is a thoughtful and supportive leader."

"Colleen is a professional who cares about her students immensely. She is diligent by working hard to help find solutions."

"I have had the pleasure of seeing Colleen in action both as a teacher (my son was one of her students) and as a senior staff member (where I was on the board of the school). She is an exceptionally creative and caring teacher and understands the needs and capabilities of near-divergent students. She should be running a school."

"Colleen is a very intelligent woman. She is a very reliable person with strong morals"
