Guilford Family,

My name is Rolando Tillman, and I am excited for the 2025-2026 school year at Guilford. I am looking forward to continuing building long-lasting relationships with the returning Guilford staff, students, and the community. As your Principal, I will promote and nurture a culturally responsive environment that assures a fair opportunity
for all learners to grow socially, emotionally, and mentally. I will strive to make a major impact on our school community in and outside of our school building.

I have fifteen years of educational experience spanning grades PK-12, with a concentration in health and physical education, community counseling, and school administration. Prior to my administrative experience, I held roles as health and physical education teacher, school safety chair, school activities director, and resource team lead. I also have coaching experience as a middle school baseball and basketball coach. I am one of 4 boys hailing from Long Island, New York! I am a proud graduate of Virginia State University and Longwood University.

At Guilford we will maintain a safe, welcoming, affirming, and inclusive learning environment for all learners. 

As we continue to encourage families to be partners in the educational process, I will remain accessible in a variety of ways to maximize active communication efforts with the Guilford community. 

As Guilford Gators we are... Goal-oriented, Authentic, Tenacious, Optimistic, Resilient, Scholars
