\n\t\t\t\tDeleon Guerrero\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nAn instructional leader<\/strong>
\nTaimanao brings a wealth of classroom and administrative experience to her new position as principal. In addition to retiring as a vice principal at San Vicente Elementary School, Taimanao was also appointed by the late Dr. Rita Hocog Inos to open Kagman Elementary School in 2001 as its acting principal. Taimanao has also served on Mount Carmel School\u2019s board of directors as a faculty representative and has led in other ways as an accreditation chair and an adviser for the school\u2019s first ever National Elementary Honor Society, which she helped found.<\/p>\nWhen asked about how she feels about the new position, Taimanao said: \u201cI am very excited and I look forward to continuing the positive relationship with the MCS family and creating an excellent educational environment for every child.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing at MCS for almost nine years, I have built a strong relationship with my fellow colleagues. We have built camaraderie and support each other when things get hard. I consider everyone at MCS my second family,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Board chair Joseph Taijeron commended Taimanao for her leadership and instructional quality. \u201cMount Carmel is lucky to have Mrs. Taimanao, a master teacher who thrives in the classroom,\u201d he said. \u201cTaking her out of one classroom places her in a position to help every student in every classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
MCS president Deleon Guerrero echoed Taijeron\u2019s sentiment. \u201cAs someone who has mentored numerous other teachers as a master teacher for Northern Marianas College\u2019s School of Education, Mrs. Taimanao is the perfect leader to help all our teachers improve in curriculum, instruction, and assessment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
President\u2019s contract renewed<\/strong>
\nTaimanao will be joining school president and 1991 AlumKnight Galvin Deleon Guerrero, whose contract as school president was renewed by the school\u2019s board of directors. Deleon Guerrero also brings a wealth of leadership and educational experience with him, having served on both the Public School System\u2019s Board of Education and the Northern Marianas College\u2019s Board of Regents. Deleon Guerrero also served as the college\u2019s accreditation liaison officer and director of Institutional Effectiveness and as an education adviser for the Office of the Governor. Deleon Guerrero possesses a master of arts degree in Catholic School Administration from the University of San Francisco.<\/p>\nOn his contract renewal, Deleon Guerrero said: \u201cI love this school and appreciate this opportunity, again, to serve her. With Mrs. Taimanao coming on board, I look forward to working with her to continue the great momentum the school has gained in the past three years with our enrollment increases, our technology upgrades, and accreditation work.\u201d<\/p>\n
This summer, Deleon Guerrero will continue his commitment to lifelong learning by pursuing his passion to make films as part of New York University\u2019s summer film program, for which the school\u2019s board expressed its full support. As Taijeron put it, \u201cThe board fully supports the president\u2019s efforts to participate in this prestigious film program. He\u2019s leading by example and showing our students that learning is a lifelong process. Every school administrator should inspire students to keep learning. As a chairman, I\u2019d be worried if he didn\u2019t believe in continuing education.\u201d (MCS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
