Greetings!  My name is Greg Daniel and I am the proud Principal of this amazing school.  As we prepare to start another school year and continue to build connections and relationships, I am happy to share with you a little about myself....

I received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing Education from Virginia Tech where I was also a member of the Hokies football team.  I was blessed to sign as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles in1992 before returning to Virginia Tech to receive a Master’s Degree in Education and Student Personnel Services.  I also earned an Education Leadership Certification from George Mason University in 2002.

I am entering my 29th year in Education and I have spent the past 20  years as an Administrator in Stafford County and the past 10 years as the Principal of Colonial Forge.  

I am married to an educator and I have 3 beautiful children who are now all young adults.  All three of my children are Colonial Forge graduates of the Class of 2014, Class of 2020; and Class of 2022.  I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf (whenever possible), and working out.  

*What I like about Forge*.......Is that we are truly a Family (Forge Family)! Like most families, our teachers and staff strive to demonstrate love, compassion, sincerity, responsibility and respect in all interactions with the school community.  And more importantly, they have a sincere desire and the ability to bring out the best in our students and each other.  

This and many more awesome things about this school, makes every day a great day to be an Eagle!

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the students, staff, and community of Colonial Forge
High School! I am going into my 11 th year as an assistant principal at Forge, and have 30 years
total with Stafford County Public Schools. I spent the early years of my career in education as a
Science teacher and coach (softball and basketball). I earned my Bachelor of Science degree
from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY, Master of Science degree from Mississippi State,
and Administration and Supervision certification from George Mason University. When I am not
at school, I am spending time with my husband, our growing family, and Stafford Crossing
Community Church.
