I so greatly appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to lead this amazing district of professional educators and incredible students. I loved each day witnessing the successes of the students, teachers and admin team - working to become the best district in our area. I believe that goal will be accomplished.

I will work diligently to fulfill my responsibilities and work to ensure a successful transition.
