R. Kelly Cameron, Ed.D.
A Boston native, Kelly has emerged as a leading social scientist with a specialty in the area of phenomenology and cultural identity theory. He is an educator, international speaker and youth interventionist.
"I too believe, the public school is the greatest discovery made by man (Mann, 1848). For me, the education profession is a continuous journey of encouragement and inspiration to all students, be they secondary or post-secondary, domestic or international learners.
My purpose is to instill in each student a passion to embrace the beauty of discovery, to forever look upward in their exploration of knowledge, and to constantly be curious in thought as broadly as east is from west.
Education and learning are catalysts for change, the equalizer of all things that matter most to people of different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and walks of life."
"You are your best thing."
