As a graduate of Bradford Schools, I am honored and feel privileged to return to my roots in the role as Assistant Principal for grades K-12 for the upcoming 2025 - 2026 school year. With many years of experience at various school districts, I hope to provide the highest levels of support to the administrative team, the Bradford staff, and to the children and their extended families.
Bradford Schools provided me with the tools to build a strong foundation, and in return I want to help our children reach high levels of success. That takes a commitment to know each child personally, dedication to making decisions based upon what is best for children, and forming trusting relationships. I am most excited for the days ahead with the students! My motto as an educator is “Kids Are My Business”.
The connection between home and school in a small community is always strong and the key to success for everyone. We look forward to working with our Bradford families to create the best environment for all learners. Staying connected with your child’s teachers, principals, and all school stakeholders who offer support and guidance is vital. We are here to help make things positive and to keep lines of communication open with our families. Reach out to us when you have questions, concerns, or interests in volunteering within the building.
We will continue to look for ways to improve our connections with children, and will work tirelessly to support their academic, social and emotional needs throughout the upcoming school year. Our food service personnel, our instructional aides, the custodial staff, the bus drivers, and each adult that your child comes in contact with during their day will do their part in making school feel like a safe and caring place for students. It takes all of us to make a child’s day complete, and we look forward to welcoming them back to school for another successful year of growth in all areas!
Thank you for trusting us with your most prized possessions - your children!
