Hello, Lakewood High School Families! I’m so excited to start my 25th year in education and 2nd as the proud Principal of Lakewood High School. This year marks my 21st year wearing orange and black at LHS. I've been a teacher, baseball/softball coach, assistant principal, and now the proud principal. During my teaching years, I was highly qualified in five subject areas, and I hold a master’s degree in Special Education.
High school is a time of exploration, both academically and personally. We use a motto at LHS – Be Here. Be Involved. Be Kind. Be Lakewood. Follow this motto and you are certain to discover new friendships, interests, and passions you never knew you had or needed.
I enjoy staying active with my family, traveling, fly fishing, photography, creating art, supporting athletics, and the performing arts. I love working with our amazing students, outstanding faculty, and supportive community.
If you want to stay up to date with what’s happening at Lakewood High School, please follow our school's Instagram page. If you see me at an event, you’ll probably see me with my camera. I share a field-level and behind-the-scenes glimpse into their students' lives on my Instagram page.
