Mellow Oaks Academy is proud to announce the appointment of our new Principal, Mr. Quinten Poley, a seasoned educator and leader whose career spans more than three decades of dedication to teaching and school leadership. His journey from the classroom to the principal’s office is a testament to resilience, passion, and an unwavering commitment to education.
Mr. Poley began his teaching career in 1989 at a township school, where he quickly established himself as a strong and inspiring educator. Over the years, he rose through the ranks — from Departmental Head of Life Sciences and Physical Science, to Deputy Principal, and eventually Principal at Florida Park High School. His leadership extended further when he took on the role of Principal at Westrand Private School before joining us here at Mellow Oaks Academy.
In his own words: “I am as excited to take on this new role at Mellow Oaks Academy as I was 36 years ago when I first entered the profession.” — Quinten Poley (Gen X Principal)
We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Poley to our community. His wealth of experience, deep understanding of education, and genuine enthusiasm for shaping young minds will undoubtedly guide Mellow Oaks Academy into a bright future.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Mr. Poley as he embarks on this exciting new chapter with us. Together, we look forward to building on our tradition of excellence and innovation in education.
