Wildcat Country! 

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I am honored to serve as your principal as I begin my 2nd full year. Since 1996, Northwestern has proudly served students in the Crabapple community, and our dedicated staff continues to uphold our school’s legacy of excellence. Each day, we strive to provide an educational experience that has a lasting impact on our students and families.   

I grew up in Lilburn, Georgia, and am a proud graduate of Georgia State University. My wife, Saira, and I have two daughters, Audriana and Hannah. On the weekends, you’ll likely find us cheering them on at their soccer or basketball games. 

As your principal, I want every student to feel confident in the caring adults who support them here at Northwestern. We are committed to building meaningful connections that extend beyond the classroom. Each student’s academic growth, as well as their social and emotional well-being, is at the core of everything we do. 

Our staff shares a common vision: to show that we are ALL IN for our students. Our primary goal will always be to help every student achieve success. The teaching and learning that takes place each day are the core of our work, and our partnership with our families—is essential to helping every Northwestern student reach their full potential. 

Thank you for your continued support of Northwestern Middle School. I look forward to a wonderful school year together!
