M-DCPS PRINCIPAL WINS STATE LEADERSHIP AWARD
June 28, 2002
Dr. Frederick A. Morley, principal of Charles R. Drew
Elementary School, has been presented with the 2002 ACE
Leadership Award for School Administrator at the recent Arts
for a Complete Education (ACE) Summer Leadership Conference
in Orlando. The award was presented by Florida Secretary of
Education Jim Horne.
The first Principal of the Year in Miami-Dade County Public
Schools, Morley's emphasis on arts in education to motivate,
improve and reward student achievement has been the hallmark
of his long and distinguished career at Drew Elementary.
Charles R. Drew Elementary was the first school in the
district to implement a talent magnet program in 1973. That
program grew dramatically under Morley's leadership and
commitment to the arts.
Through a grant, Morley secured a Full-Service School
Program, which affords students medical and social services
in addition to the well-rounded arts focused education that
provides quality instruction in drama, dance, music and
visual art.
