I am delighted to be the principal of Thayer Elementary School!  I have been working in the district since 2001.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” The power of that weapon, and the change it creates, does not fail in the face of adversity. Education, and indeed our country, is undergoing one of the greatest challenges faced in the last century. But that doesn’t stop our mission. It doesn’t change our role as educators. I have been a part of this community my whole life and I look forward to continuing our great partnership between the school and the community. As the principal of Thayer Elementary during an unprecedented time, I will work harder than ever to assist my fellow educators and the next generation of leaders, preparing them to change the world.
