She is an administrator of thirty years originally from Lexington, Kentucky who earned her doctoral from the University of Kentucky. She started her post this past September, and called her transition to our district a “culture change, but a great opportunity.” She aims to raise the enrollment rate of the tri-district schools by proving to parents that a private school is not necessary for their child to attend the top universities in the country such as Harvard and Princeton.
