Mr. Greg Daniel, Principal

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 in 1992 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 27th year in Education and I have spent the past 18 years as an Administrator in Stafford County and the past 9 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!
