After eight years of service to this extraordinary district and community, I’ve decided it’s time to begin a new chapter in my professional and personal life. This decision did not come easily as my time in the district has been the most meaningful and fulfilling in my career. It has been a privilege to work alongside dedicated educators, staff, and community members who share a deep commitment to the success and well-being of every student. Together we have faced challenges with determination and celebrated milestones that reflects the strength and resilience of this district.”
