The HPS Web Team asked every school principal for the following information.
Thinking back, what is one of your favorite childhood school memories?
Back in 4th grade- as a student in Lakeville Schools near Flint- I won a school writing contest. I was very proud. It was a highlight for me.
What teacher in your life had an influence on you? Why?
Once again, I remember 4th grade well because of my teacher, Mrs. Austin. You would not believe how caring and encouraging she was.
What three words or phrases would people who know you well use to describe you?
tries to see school through the eyes of kids - a "rock & roll" principal (Let's go for it!) - Let's seek the fun in our learning
What is something about you that people would be surprised to know?
I'm a Michigan native. I came from a big family in the Detroit area. I'm a lifelong Tiger fan!
What is the newest hobby or interest area you have picked up?
I've enjoyed tinkering around with computer videography and making creative home videos of my family.
