Principal / Mission
I am honored and humbled to be the new principal of Shawanoe Elementary School!
I have been in education for over 15 years, all in the Shawnee Mission School District. Much of my teaching career was spent in third grade. I began my administrative journey as an Administrative Intern here at Shawanoe, so this school is near and dear to my heart. I spent the past 5 years serving as the principal of Bluejacket-Flint Elementary School. I am beyond excited to be back and to focus on building strong and authentic relationships with staff, students, and our community.
I am committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment, ensuring high levels of learning, and fostering social-emotional growth. I speak from experience when I say Shawanoe is made up of amazing, diverse students, a positive and caring staff, and a strong supportive community. I look forward to partnering with you to ensure an excellent school experience for ALL students.
