One of my favorite quotes on
education is from William Butler Yeats that states, “Education
is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” As
the principal of Spring Hill Elementary, I have the good fortune
of being in the classrooms each day seeing our teachers and
staff lighting the fire of learning with students.
I’m in my third year as
principal at Spring Hill Elementary. Prior to the 2007-2008
school year, I served as assistant principal at SHES for three
years. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from
Ottawa University and completed my Master’s in School
Administration from the University of Kansas. I spent many years
in the classroom as a teacher primarily at the 4th
and 5th grade level. Even as an administrator,
whenever I get the opportunity, I love jumping into the
classroom and teaching a lesson!
I am the mother of two
children, Addie and Jace. My hobbies include traveling,
exercising, going to concerts, cooking, entertaining,
landscaping, decorating and spending time with family and
friends.
