We are thrilled to start the 2024-2025 school year and to see students in classrooms and hallways. We are looking forward to collaborating with students, staff, and parents this year.  We are inspired more than ever to serve our students and community in not only learning, but also creating connections, memories, and overall wellness.  It is going to be a great year!

As the Principal of Churchill Elementary, I am excited to start my 12th year. My educational career started with teaching 6th grade for six years (Oakridge and Timberland Charter Academy). I was a teacher coach , as well as the assistant principal for two years at Timberland. From there I became principal at Beechnau Elementary (Ravenna) for 3 years before coming to Churchill in 2013.

We have worked hard to ensure a positive start to the 2024-2025 school year and are very excited to welcome you all back to Churchill. Thanks for everything you have done to prepare your child for school. We look forward to partnering together to provide our students the best learning experience this school year!
