As Principal at Cherokee Ridge, my mission is to create a safe, structured environment that inspires students to become life-long learners and responsible citizens.
I am very excited for the opportunity to serve the students, teachers, and community here at Cherokee Ridge. This will be my 20th year in education. I have been an administrator, teacher, and coach at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
I know the importance of the educational foundation we set at the elementary level, because I know the skills our students will need to be successful throughout their lives. My goal is for our students to be successful when they are employed, enlisted, or enrolled, as adults.
In an effort to maintain transparency as well as compliance with the State Department of Revenue, the Walker County Board of Education has rescheduled both its planning session and regular Board meeting, as well as the three (3), required public millage hearings according to the attached schedule. The required advertisement in the Messenger that was published on Wednesday, August 3, contained meeting dates that were not in compliance; this has been corrected and will be published in the Messenger on Wednesday, August 10, fulfilling the requirement.
