This is my fourth year at Skyline Elementary.  My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Science and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  Both degrees were earned at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.  I have served the Stillwater School District in several capacities including: High School Science Teacher/Coach and Junior High Assistant Principal/Activities Director.  I believe my well rounded experience with multiple age groups has been extremely beneficial in preparation for this position.

Everyday I feel privileged to lead the young men and women within our school.  I look forward to continually improving the educational experience for all students at Skyline Elementary School.

In 2005-2006, Skyline Elementary Schools adopted Edward Ford’s behavior management program “The responsible Thinking process”.  This philosophy is based on his book, Discipline for Home and School.  Ed Ford has written several books based on the idea that when the Responsible Thinking Process is properly used, it provides opportunities for educators and parents to teach students how to look within themselves, decide the way they want to be, and restructure their own lives so they can get what they want without violating the rights of others.  We currently have in place a Responsible Thinking Classroom (RTC) staffed by Jill Whitacre.  This approach is working well providing a common discipline structure across all school settings including:  The classroom, recess, lunchtime, transition between classes,  etc…  If you would like more information regarding the Responsible Thinking Process, please contact the main office at Skyline and we can provide you with additional information and resources
