Garry Sullivan
Head of School, Pulaski Academy
BEST CAREER MOMENT SO FAR
Coaching my children. The years are short, and this career allows me to invest in my children as part of my job. Undoubtedly, this is followed by the privilege of being named as the head of school at Pulaski Academy.
WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO MY JOB EVERY DAY
The people. I “get to” start my day seeing children from 2.5 to 18 years old smiling when they come in and smiling when they leave. We have an incredible community of students, faculty and parents at PA.
BEST ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED
“Leaders eat last.” – Simon Sinek. Try to leave things better than you found it. Nothing is free or owed to you, and life isn’t always fair.
ONE THING I WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT MY COMPANY
A recent conversation with a parent stated it best. Pulaski Academy is the closest educational experience our students get to a multicultural real-world experience. I encourage everyone to come visit us!
