I taught reading, writing, and English at McKinley Middle and Mahone Middle. Served as principal and assistant principal at Bullen Middle and Bradford High School. Served in School Leadership as a supervisor and supporter of secondary principals and am delighted to work with students and teachers again at Reuther. After 25 plus years, I truly believe that strong public education matters for a thriving society.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/lakeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/principal-hobbies.svg\" alt=\"Hobbies\" width=\"50\" \/> Hobbies<\/h2>\n<p>Spending time with my family, gardening, and learning how to build things.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/lakeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/principal-subjects.svg\" alt=\"Favorite school subjects\" width=\"50\" \/> Favorite school subjects<\/h2>\n<p>English, Political Science, and Theatre<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/lakeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/principal-love-school.svg\" alt=\"What I love most about LakeView\" width=\"50\" \/> What I love most about Reuther<\/h2>\n<p>I love Reuther because it\u2019s a place that fosters connection, acceptance, and a true sense of belonging\u2014especially for students who have already found that life doesn\u2019t always come easy. The staff at Reuther offer the support and encouragement students need to believe in themselves again, understanding that the most meaningful learning often comes through challenge. Whether the obstacles are social or academic, Reuther emphasizes growth and resilience over perfection, helping students rebuild their confidence and find their inner strength. It\u2019s a place where everyone is welcomed, supported, and empowered to reach their goals\u2014a little place that truly feels like home for many.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/lakeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/principal-quote-mantra.svg\" alt=\"Favorite quote or mantra\" width=\"50\" \/> Favorite quote or mantra<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we get to write the ending.&#8221; &#8211;Brene\u2019 Brown<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/lakeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2024\/03\/principal-sport-food.svg\" alt=\"Favorite sports team\" width=\"50\" \/> Favorite food<\/h2>\n<p>French fries are never wrong!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-887523187 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":13504,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14548","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14548"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15577,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14548\/revisions\/15577"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kusd.edu\/reuther\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
