Hello! Welcome to Northern Middle School. I am so proud to be a
part of this exceptional team. I began working at NMS 14 years ago
as an exploratory teacher of Current Social Issues. I served as a
Guidance Counselor for 5 years and this is my sixth year as the
Assistant Principal. I love my job. I knew from the time I was in
8th grade that I wanted to be a teacher. I love school
and will be a lifelong learner myself. I tried to find other areas
of interest for a career, but my heart and each avenue taken led me
back to teaching. Northern Middle School is a great place to work
and learn. I look forward to seeing the students and teachers every
day. We have the most supportive parents and community and I count
it a privilege to live and work in this community. I have a
wonderful husband and three small children, Koby, Konner, and
Kameryn. My husband and I both graduated from Pulaski County
Schools and our children will grow up in Pulaski County Schools. We
have an awesome school and are improving every year. We are ranked
in the top 15% of schools in the state. We are a 2005 KY School to
Watch, and we are in the top 20 schools in the state in two content
areas. Our test scores are above state average in every content area
and we have surpassed 100 in Arts & Humanities. Thank you for the
opportunity to serve you through educating our youth. We truly seek
to be our community’s school of choice and will continue to provide
your children with the best teachers in the state. We also will
continue to offer innovative programs and a strong curriculum with
excellent teaching strategies. I look forward to our continued
partnership in building a professional learning community that is
one of the best in our state. |
