Our Principal

I am excited to serve as principal of Pathways Future Center School.  Working with our students, families, and staff is a dream come true for me. I have worked as a high school science teacher, counselor, and assistant principal in the past.  In my career I have always been drawn to working with students who have not been successful in traditional settings and it was a goal of mine to one day lead a building like Pathways.

We have a caring, supportive staff that works to create individual plans to success for our students.  My priority is to have our staff build strong relationships with students in order to help them see that they are able to obtain a high school diploma with proper support.  A high school diploma is the first key to a successful future, and it is my passion to help our students obtain this goal.  

We are looking forward to another school year in working with students that are motivated to finish a high school education.  Pathways is an exciting school as we offer an alternative education setting that utilizes a blended learning environment.  Our program combines online classes and face to face classes in order to provide a flexible learning option for students that have not been successful in a traditional school setting.  It is an honor to be the leader of this program.  We have a knowledgeable and caring staff that is prepared to support students in their learning efforts.

I am passionate about working with students and families to create opportunities for success. I look forward to a great year!
