Welcome Mr. Jose Moreno, Boone's New Assistant Principal!
Dear Boone Students, Parents & Community Members,
It is my pleasure to formally introduce myself. My name is Jose Moreno. I am the new Assistant Principal here at Boone. I am also an immigrant, a product of CPS, a teacher and an instructional coach at CPS for the last 13 years. I am also father to a beautiful young lady who attends the Chicago Public Schools.
I am very happy to be here at Boone. I am looking forward to meeting all the children and being involved in collaborative and innovative ways by which to challenge and move them forward. I know that together, we can and will write remarkable narratives for each of our children.
Thank you, Jose Moreno
