I believe that the implementation of pedagogical excellence, community engagement and a nurturing environment can help develop successful students loyal to their schools, committed to their communities, and living in constant pursuit of academic and personal excellence.__________Dr. Pogue is an experienced Associate Professor and Assistant VP of Academic Affairs with a demonstrated history of working in a variety of institutions.
