Principal

Assistant Principal

My name is Kendall (she/her), and I am so excited to be joining Compass as the new Assistant Principal. I began my career in education in San Francisco, where I taught and held various leadership roles supporting both students and teachers. After moving to New York, I continued my journey in charter schools, focusing on student growth and building strong, supportive communities. I am eager to bring my experience and passion for child-centered education to Compass and to partner with families in the learning and growth of every child. Building connections with students and their caregivers is one of the parts of my work I value most. Outside of school, I enjoy sunshine in Fort Greene Park, cozy days with a good book, and no matter the weather, I start my morning with a hot cup of coffee. I look forward to a year of learning, connection, and joy together!
