All About Me   

                    "Teachers who set and communicate high expectations to all their students obtain greater academic performance from those students than teachers who set low expectations."

            I have lived in Rapid City most of my life and I have been teaching at Douglas for 20 years.  I love working with the staff and students at Francis Case.  My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Education degree from South Dakota State University.  I have one son who attends the University of Minnesota.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, attending concerts and plays, golfing, walking, and shopping.  
                                                       

            The thing I enjoy most about teaching is watching a student's face light-up when they finally understand the subject or the concept being taught.  I also enjoy seeing things from a child's perspective.
