Welcome from our Superintendent
As the superintendent, I am committed to providing the best education for all of our students. The Margate City Board of Education and I will continue to strive to provide high-quality curriculum and instructional programs that fit the individual needs of the children that we serve. Our administrative team, teachers and staff are prepared to support and educate our students with the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century. They are dedicated to providing an outstanding experience for all of our children in a safe, caring environment.
