Having worked at the school district for a total of 22 years (12 years at the high school and 10 years at the middle school), Mr. DeLauro believes that relationships were a crucial part of the learning process of the adjustment period.

Even after the promotion, Mr. DeLauro still believes that the student body is strong in every aspect academically and socially and hopes that this year and going onward, the students take advantage of every opportunity given to them.
