Dear King's Highway Elementary Students, Families, and Community Members,
It is with great enthusiasm that I arrive every day as principal of King's Highway Elementary School. I am honored to lead a school with such a strong tradition of excellence, community engagement, and a commitment to student success.
At King's Highway, our mission is to foster a welcoming and dynamic learning environment where every member of our school community can thrive. We proudly embrace our core values of PRIDE, which stands for being Positive, Responsible, Inclusive, Dependable, and Engaged. These values guide our work and interactions each day, and they serve as the foundation for a culture of belonging and growth.
As your principal, my goal is to ensure that every student, staff member, and family feels valued and supported. Before joining the King's Highway team, I served as an assistant principal at the high school level in Newark, Delaware. My journey in education began as a visual art teacher in elementary schools, eventually expanding to secondary instruction in various subjects, including technology education, special education, and English Language Arts. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching every grade from kindergarten through twelfth.
A native of Chester County, I earned both a Bachelor of Science in Art Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kutztown University. I later completed a Master of Education in School Leadership at Wilmington University, along with a graduate certificate in Special Education. These experiences have deepened my belief in the power of creativity, collaboration, and inclusive learning environments.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and biking. Time in nature has always been a source of inspiration and balance for me.
I look forward to partnering with all of you as we embark on each student's educational journey, each filled with possibilities. Together, we will continue to make King's Highway a place where every child can learn, grow, and succeed.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
