"Spencer was a student in the University of St. Thomas K-12 principal licensure committee in 2024-25. From the first class, I could tell Spencer was very driven and wanted to learn as much as he could. He pursued countless opportunities to refine his leadership skills and build a sound network. Spencer will be a very dedicated and passionate school leader."

"It has been a true pleasure being a part of Spencer's leadership journey! Between his first and last courses in the University of St. Thomas principal licensure program, Spencer not only committed to taking on a formal school leadership role, but also worked closely with mentors to ensure he participated in real-world, hands-on experiences to help him be as prepared as possible for this important position. His deep experience as a music educator who has dedicated himself to the growth of his students and his colleagues will serve Spencer well as a school leader."
