“I am honored and blessed to lead the Green Forest School District. It is an amazing district with great pride in its schools, community, and valued traditions.”

I am currently the Middle School Principal and this is the best district I've ever worked in. I am in my 12th year in education where I have served as a teacher, coach, and administrator. I am very proud to serve this community and I am here to help our students and families in any way possible. GO TIGERS!!!

I’ve spent the last 30 years working in the Green Forest School District, and I couldn’t be more proud to be part of it. As a Green Forest alum, it means a lot to keep giving back to the place that helped shape me. I’m excited to keep doing what I love in the community I call home.
