Meet the Head Marlin
Mr. Keith Bland
A native of Bay County, Mr. Bland attended Memphis State University where he received his bachelors degree and lettered in football. Prior to being named principal at Arnold, Mr. Bland served as a classroom teacher, coach, and administrator. He also served served as a principal for Florida Virtual Schools and is, therefore, very knowledgeable about the integration of technology in education.
Mr. Bland believes every student at Arnold High School is important and can be a success. In keeping with that philosophy, he fully supports Collegiate Studies as the best approach to deliver a college preparatory education to his students. As a result, Collegiate Studies is growing!
Our college curriculum is broad for a reason. The program is one that sees the student as an individual and engages him/her in a process that creates young adults who can collaborate effectively, handle responsibilities, and solve problems. That is how Mr. Bland defines the effect of a Collegiate Studies education.

Mrs. Katie Clunan
Mrs. Clunan attended Florida State University in Panama City where she received her bachelors in Education. She has over ten years of teaching experience in Bay and Seminole Counties. Mrs. Clunan began her teaching career at Holy Nativity Episcopal School and has taught Honors Language Arts and AP Human Geography at Arnold High School for the last several years. Mrs. Clunan firmly believes that the education of our children is the responsibility of his or her parents and that it is the responsibility of the school system to facilitate that education. In keeping with this philosophy she is committed to providing parents and students with the resources necessary to become the highly collaborative, responsible problem solvers of the future envisioned by Mr. Bland. She is also strongly committed to maintaining a close working relationship with parents and community stakeholders through our CSPAC (see our CSPAC page) and SAC. That said, Mrs. Clunan maintains an open door for both students and parents. “It is important to me that students and their parents feel comfortable speaking candidly with me about their educational needs, desires and barriers.”, Katie Clunan. |
