Message

"I'm a people person. I like being with people. So I like being a teacher, and so on." -NT Wright...Throughout my own educational pursuits, I've always loved learning, but I believe that knowledge becomes far more valuable when it is shared with others. I greatly enjoyed the nine years I spent in the classroom, teaching high school students about business and personal finance, before pursuing a different path within education. I now focus my efforts on positively impacting students within the role of Assistant Superintendent. I am dedicated to providing our students with modern educational tools and relevant curriculum, preparing them for today’s workforce.
