August 2, 2021 Elementary Parents and/or Guardians, I am excited to be your new elementary principal! This will be my fifth year in administration. I am no stranger to the district, as I have been our high school principal for the past four years. It has been a great four years with a lot of wonderful memories. One thing that sticks out is the way this community comes together to support each other and our students. I am honored to continue to be a part of it.
