My Educational Philosophy

I am proud to be a Payne Panther! As the Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, I will oversee athletics and 8th grade behavior. In both of these areas, I will work hard to instill a positive character in the students at PJHS. I hold a BA in Elementary Education from Wayne State University and a MEd in Curriculum and Instruction as well as an MEd in Educational Leadership, both from Northern Arizona University. I taught Math at Willis Junior High for 13 years and became the Dean and Athletic Director at Payne Junior High in 2018.
