Welcome!
It is truly a pleasure to work with the great people that are the Salmon School District! Our community is fortunate to have such dedicated folks looking out for our children. In my 31 years as a professional educator, I have never seen a better, more committed group of public servants.
Experience.
I began my career with 11 years as an elementary teacher. I moved into public school administration where, during the next 17 years, I had the opportunity to work at the school, district, and state level in various positions. During this time, I also worked as an education advocate in Washington, D.C. where I shared a grass-roots perspective in an attempt to influence education policy. I returned to teaching where I spent the past three years reconnecting with my passion for seeing students learn and discover.
Goals.
Salmon School District is about Excellence in Education. I am here to facilitate that noble goal. We have many of the elements in place. It is my primary goal to see our schools move from good to GREAT!
Specifically:
- Improve communication between school and community by being accessible and responsive at all levels in our district.
- Increase transparency so our patrons know both sources of school revenue and how our public funds are spent.
- Celebrate student achievement as our central focus!
Public education is the foundation of our democratic way of life. The future of the freedoms we enjoy depends on our success. Your support is essential to that success. It is my hope that as we move forward, the wonderful people of Salmon will unite their support and be the powerful force that will move our schools from good to GREAT!
