Celebrating New Albany-Plain Local Schools: The Heart of Our Community
Together Everyone Achieves
More! I believe you will find me to be an educational
leader who is student-centered with a passion of leading and growing
a vision of excellence that provides the best education for each
and every student. That means working collaboratively with the entire
Learning Community to, not only maintain the current level of excellence,
but to build upon the excellence to reach greater heights in the
academic achievement of all students. Together
Everyone Achieves More!
Let us work together to prioritize and value the importance of education
in life-long learning.
Managing Resources:
The school district is an organization with over $150 million in capital assets, an annual operating budget of $30 million. We have about 3,500 students and almost 500 certified (teaching) and classified employees in the district. We celebrate an amazing group of teachers, administrators, and non-teaching staff, and remain proud of their hard work and accomplishments. Fiscal responsibility and accountability remains a priority, and through exemplary financial audits and community engagement, we have been able to obtain the needed funding for our schools and our educators.
A Challenge For Our Future:
I challenge every one of us in the community to work together in growing the vision of excellence and helping to deliver on a promise of a world-class education within the New Albany-Plain Local School District. Schools and children are truly the heart of this community. Strong schools build a strong community. Together Everyone Achieves More, and that’s reason to celebrate.
