What clients are saying:
When I think of a natural-born leader, Andre Thomas is one of the very first people who comes to mind. I have enjoyed the privilege of getting to know him on a school leadership level, where I have seen him challenge and empower his students, staff, and school board/committee in such positive ways that he is able to get the very most out of the people with whom he works alongside. His genuine care for others, while simultaneously striving for excellence, makes people want to deliver well for him. In the role he performed so marvelously as Head of School, he came into a school that had gone through a lot of transition and brought the school to a level in which it was able to thrive. I myself have tremendously grown as a leader thanks in large part to Andre. If you have the privilege of getting to know or partnering with Andre, count that as a tremendous honor!

Andre Thomas is one of the most positive, professional, and compassionate leaders I know. As a mentor, he was patient and kind, he was willing to answer questions, and he provided thoughtful feedback. His greatest quality is that he is a genuinely good person who cares, and puts 100% into everything he does.

In 2018, I worked as an interim Assistant Principal when Mr. Thomas was the Principal at Williamsville North High School in Williamsville, NY. This was my first experience as an educational leader, and because of Mr. Thomas I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He demonstrated the importance of building relationships, working as a team and the significance of being a clear and consistent communicator. Mr. Thomas was a swift thinker in challenging situations, he always made decisions based on what was best for students. I will forever be grateful of my time working with Mr. Thomas!
