Welcome to another exciting and wonderful school year.   This is my first year as assistant principal at HJHS as I was a 4th grade teacher at Beckemeyer
for the past 8 years.  I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a degree in Elementary Education. I later attended Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville where a obtained a masters degree in Educational Administration.  I have several hobbies; however anything in the outdoors is probably my favorite. 
 
In preparation for an incredible experience this year, I ask parents to read and review the student handbook with their children so everyone understands the policies at this school as a whole.  Please encourage your students to do their best and aid them in anyway possible as we continue through our Jr. High years together. 
 
Please feel free to contact me with any clarifications or concerns you may have with your child and I assure you I will do the same.  The best way to contact me is simply to email me.  Another way to contact me is to call the school.  
 
 I am very excited to be working with you and your child towards a school year full of promise, education, and fun!!!
