The Warrior's Call

Thank you from Mr. Shea--

On February 19, I was awarded Principal of the Year for the Americas Region. I was nominated by members of the QMHS community, and that is truly an honor.  To then receive the award is deeply humbling, so thank you to this fantastic community that I am blessed to be a part of. Special thanks to my fellow educator and wife, Kristy Shea, for always being my greatest supporter on this incredible journey serving military communities.

Although I am honored to receive the award, I accept it on behalf of the fantastic team here at QMHS and MCB Quantico. We are all a team, so this award highlights the positive climate, hard work and student-centered programs into which we invest each and every day. 

Sincerely, thank you!

Your QMHS Administrative Team, 
Miles J. Shea, Principal, 703-459-3693
