- Hi, my name is Geoff Deavers and I am the new principal here at Triangle Elementary School, where we are building champions together. I was born in a suburb of Buffalo, New York. It was called Amherst, New York. I originally started as a business management major. I didn't really enjoy what I was doing.

- I had a love for kids that I was missing and so I went back. My parents are both teachers, so I think it was definitely something that was in me. I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to work with students. And that's when I decided to make that change. I went to a small school up in Buffalo, New York. The name of the college is Canisius College. I went there for my undergrad and I also went there for my graduate work. After I came down here, I went to the University of Virginia to get my degree in leadership. I came down here 13 years ago now, taught fourth grade for six years. I was at Mullen Elementary, Fitzgerald Elementary and Bel Air Elementary. And then I went to Belmont Elementary as an assistant principal and an administrative intern for two years, and I went to River Oaks for four years as an assistant principal. And now I'm here at Triangle as the principal.

- So my philosophy on education is that every student can learn and you can also have fun doing it. My whole demeanor, I love to have fun with the kids. I like to see the kids enjoying themselves, being engaged in activities and enjoying what they're doing. And I show that love for education to all of them and I'm hoping that it shows through in what they're doing.
