Dr. McKinley's Retirement

Dear ACHS Family,

Twenty years ago ACHS was a little more than a dream. With the collaborative work of many, ACHS has become a reality which has impacted the lives of thousands. I am blessed to have been a part of the vision and the reality of this wonderful school. Many of the stories of the early days seem unbelievable today but here we are stronger because of our history and ready to build on the legacy. The next 20 years have even greater things in store for our students and families. After a total of 32 years working with families of the Asbury Park and Neptune communities I feel that it is time to pass the baton and as C.S. Lewis said “set another goal or dream a new dream.”

I leave ACHS in the hands of an amazing staff—a true family—who will be led by Mr. Shawn Heeter, Lead Person/Dean of Students, Ms. Joyel Furges, Chief Academic Officer and Mr. David Block, Chief Financial Officer. In addition Mrs. Lorrissa Voorhees is returning to be the Director of Special Services.

My retirement is bittersweet as the ACHS family has been an integral part of my life. I will miss the excitement and friends. I look forward to always supporting the ACHS family at events and on sidelines. Go Panthers!

Mary Jo McKinley, Ed.D.
