Meet Principal Peptalk. At 52 years old, Principal Peptalk stands tall with a medium build, distinguishing himself with his tailor-made azure suit, blue-rimmed glasses, and white bow-tie. This Middle-class African American, known for his bushy eyebrows and distinctive fashion sense, leads Lurnex as a beacon of motivation and unity. His approach to education, underpinned by a PhD in Visual Learning, is assertive and proactive, aiming to unlock the potential within every creative and visual learner.

Peptalk’s personal life is filled with activities that reflect his values of perseverance and vision, from golf and reading to Sudoku and tending to house plants. Married to Vivienne for 14 years, with a 6-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, he embodies the principles he teaches. Despite a busy career, he cherishes family time, often found reading in his armchair, and makes a guilty pleasure trip to Dunkin Donuts every Friday. His motto, “I’m here to encourage everyone I meet,” perfectly captures his mission to inspire both students and teachers at Lurnex.
