We are excited to introduce our new Assistant Principal, bringing 19 years of experience in education and a deep passion for student success. Before joining Odyssey, Mr. Tatarka served as Assistant Principal of Instruction at Lockhart Middle School and began his career as a celebrated 6–12 orchestra director in Massachusetts, with ensembles performing at Disney World, Strathmore Hall, Jordan Hall, and even Carnegie Hall.

His leadership journey in Florida includes serving as a Dean at Carver Middle School and Lake Nona High School. He holds degrees from Boston University, the University of Florida, and George Washington University. Rooted in the arts and driven by a commitment to strong school communities, Mr. Tatarka leads with collaboration and care - supporting both students and staff in reaching their fullest potential. Outside of school, he enjoys spending time with his family, catching shows at the Dr. Phillips Center, visiting Disney World, and exploring new restaurants. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Den!
