The culture of our site has improved immensely since Mr. Salama has joined us. He continually stresses that we are a family and it is apparent in his interactions with everyone on campus. He challenges and supports each of us in ways that help us grow as educators and leaders. He challenges and supports the students in ways that will lead them on a path to achieving their dreams in college and career.
Mr. Salama is a wonderful administrator and leader to work for. His positive spirit has truly impacted the Merlo community. Much of what we have been able to accomplish over this past year would not have been done without his leadership or support. All who come into contact with him walk away a better person.
The man is everywhere. Keeps his energy level up and it flows to the students. When you want someone to get to the point he is also there. I don't think there is a student and or involved parent that is not aware of who he is.
First and foremost, it has been an honor to work with such a dedicated Principal. Everyday Mr. Salama is in high spirits and full of energy that he spreads not only to his staff, but to his students. He assists me with my growth as a professional, showing me to always be a team player, and encourages me to always do my best. Mr. Salama is someone I look up to, and hope, I can be just as much of a great leader as he has been to me.
Mr. Salama has made such an impact within our school. Not just with our students, but staff, teachers, and parents. He always takes the time to recognize us and our work. He welcomes us every morning with a highly happy spirit, and tells us what a good job we all do everyday, really everyday! He truly is the definition of a leader, and also a team player, never leaving any of us behind. He has brought a lot of positively energy to our school site and we are beyond thankful and pleased to have him as our leader.

Mr. Salama has many admirable qualities along with his lively energy. Appose to other methods of leadership Mr. Salama is great at working with those who need it, furthermore guiding but allowing you to be creative. Since the arrival of Mr. Salama the impact I as a classified employee can have on the students learning has never been more clear. Because of Mr. Salama's genuine desire to help students better themselves, I've witnessed staff and parents step forward and strive to make a difference in Merlo Institute students. He is the type of person and leader that makes the "workplace" feel gratifying causing your day to go by too fast.
A true leader and partner. It is great to have someone to work with who is as dedicated to improving the lives of our students as much as I am. He brings a positive can do attitude to everything he does and respects and lifts up all who are around him. His leadership has inspired all of us to accomplish anything we set out to do. Before he came to this campus I was ready to toss in the towel; now I am energized and growing as a professional and an individual. I consider him more than a colleague; I consider him a friend and it has been a long time since I have been able to say that about any leader I have worked with over the years. He truly deserves this recognition.
This is what I can say about Mr. Salama...He is a leader who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. He sets a good example and from the very beginning he came with empathy and this is all how our Merlo Team was formed. I am gracious to be apart of this team. I worked with a wonderful group of people!
I strongly admire what Mr. Salama brings to Merlo. He is the type of person that knows how to give positive praise and encourage those around him to take part in what the task is at hand. Mr. Salama rolls his sleeves up and gets to work right by your side to ensure that he too is taking part to ensure that the task is complete. He is the type of leader that will guide you and encourage you to do your best and be your best at all times. Students, staff and community members see this and we are all very happy to work with him.
