I started teaching in Alaska in 1990 and moved to Craig in 1992. Since coming to Craig, I have taught grades 2-5, coached Battle of the Books, ran the spelling bee for almost ten years, been in charge of both CES and CMS Student Councils, assisted in coaching a jump rope team, and was even assistant coach for high school volleyball for one year. I also wrote, received and administered several three year grants for the district. I was Director of Student Services for several years and taught Title l Reading during that time as well. As principal for Craig High School since 2015, I find the position to be challenging and rewarding and I learn something new every day.
