Principal’s Corner

As the principal of the Intermediate side of the elementary school, I believe that every child has unique gifts, unlimited potential, and a vital place in our school family. My commitment is to create a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment where students feel valued, challenged, and supported every day.

In our small community, relationships are everything. I deeply value the strong partnership between school and home—when families and educators work together, children thrive. Parents and guardians are a child’s first and most important teachers, and the collaboration we share ensures that learning doesn’t stop at the school doors. Whether it’s through daily communication, shared celebrations, or problem-solving together, this connection strengthens both our students’ academic growth and their sense of belonging. Castle Rock is where I learned this foundation and my desire to be an educator became a thing.

Our school values—C.R.R.E.S: Caring, Respectful, Responsible, Engaged, and Safe—guide everything we do. They shape our classrooms, our playgrounds, and our interactions, helping students grow not only as learners but as kind, capable, and community-minded people. When we consistently model and uphold these values, we create a culture where students know they matter, where they feel empowered to try, and where they are supported to succeed.

I am dedicated to fostering a culture where every student’s curiosity is encouraged, every achievement is celebrated, and every challenge is seen as an opportunity to grow. Our rural roots are a source of pride and strength, and I am honored to serve a school that reflects the heart and spirit of our community.

Here, we are more than a school—we are a family. And in this family, every child matters.
