Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!
As we begin this new chapter, I am filled with excitement and gratitude. As Superintendent of Schools for Washington County, I remain deeply committed to the success of every student, educator, and school in our district. It is an honor and a privilege to serve in this role and to continue building on the strong foundation of excellence we’ve established together.
Over the past 15 years in education—serving as a paraprofessional, teacher, club sponsor, coach, Assistant Principal, and Principal—I have been guided by the principles of B.E.S.T.: Believe, Expectation, Student-Centered, and Teacher-Friendly. These values continue to shape my vision and leadership across our district.
Believe – I believe in the incredible potential of every student and every educator in Washington County. My goal is to foster a culture of confidence and encouragement, where students are empowered to pursue their goals and educators are supported as they guide and inspire.
Expectation – High expectations remain at the core of our mission. We challenge our students to rise above limitations and encourage our educators to pursue instructional excellence. With clear goals and the right support, our district can and will reach new heights.
Student-Centered – Every decision we make is with students in mind. Their safety, well-being, and academic success are our top priorities. We are committed to creating inclusive, nurturing environments that meet the diverse needs of all learners.
Teacher-Friendly – Our educators are the heart of our schools. As Superintendent, I continue to focus on creating a teacher-friendly culture that values professional growth, open communication, and meaningful support. When our teachers thrive, our students benefit.
Working alongside our talented staff, dedicated families, and supportive community, we are making great strides toward ensuring that every child in Washington County receives a high-quality education. Together, we are building a district that lives up to its name—the B.E.S.T. in the state.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. I look forward to all we will accomplish together.
