I am honored to join Sherwood Park as your new principal beginning January 2026. It is a privilege to become part of a school that is clearly dedicated to nurturing young learners, supporting families, and building a positive, inclusive community.
As I transition into this role, my priority is to listen, learn, and work collaboratively with our students, staff, and families. Elementary school is such a special time in a child’s life, and I believe every student deserves to feel safe, valued, and excited to learn each day. Together, we will continue to build strong academic foundations while also supporting social growth, kindness, and curiosity.
I am grateful for the strong work already happening at Sherwood Park, and I look forward to supporting our dedicated teachers and staff as we help every child reach their full potential. I also value open communication and partnership with families and encourage you to stay connected, share your ideas, and be involved in our school community.
I am excited about the journey ahead and all that we will accomplish together. Here at Sherwood Park, our staff expects learning for all, whatever it takes.
