Welcome!

My name is April Kutchinski and I am the Dean of Students at Payne Junior High. I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the Panther family and I look forward to empowering all students to be the best they can be. I am originally from Chicago and I moved to Arizona in 2014. 

 Education and Professional Background:

I received my undergraduate from North Central College in Naperville, Il. From there, I went on to serve Title 1 students through a program called Arizona Teaching fellows where I received my teaching certificate. I then obtained my master's in educational leadership from Grand Canyon University. I truly believe that all students can be successful when held to high expectations.
