My administrative experience began in 2003 and I love working at Athens High School. I work in the following areas: curriculum/instruction and Career and Technical Education. I work with an amazing faculty to improve student achievement. My passion is creating positive experiences with teachers and students to maximize student success. I am very excited for the new year and look forward to providing college and career opportunities to improve student achievement. I love Athens High School and work to ensure success, both athletically and academically. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Athens High School.
