I get the unbelievable honor of serving as the High School Principal at Benton Community for the last 3 years. It has been the honor of my life to be able to serve the families at Benton for the last 15 years in the classroom and as an administrator in various roles. In my non-school time, I enjoy working in my yard, attending Iowa State Football Games, and spending time with my family.

I previously taught High School math for 14 years, and I am currently the building principal at the Norway Center for the past four years. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, vacationing, and watching my children's many activities.

2nd grade students at Keystone Elementary operate a lemonade stand today as they learn about jobs and the role of currency (using pretend coins!).


I am a 1st grade teacher at Atkins Elementary. I have been a 1st grade teacher at Atkins for two years and I can't say enough positive things about it. I live in Hiawatha with my boyfriend, Bryce. In my free time I enjoy watching reality tv shows, sports, and hanging out with my friends & family.
