As the new school year begins, I am pleased to be a member of the SMHE family! I have been an Assistant Principal for 15 years, and I always continue to look forward to the new experiences and challenges a new school year brings. I am very committed to providing a quality educational environment for all of our students where every child can be successful. When a student is successful, the teachers and staff are successful. Our success comes from the success of the whole school community.

I am always encouraging open lines of communication, so I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know you. Please feel free to stop in and say "hello", my door is always open! I am confident that, with parents, teachers, staff, and students working together, we will race to the finish line of a great school year, and we will WIN!!!!
