What do you love about teaching at KHS?
“KHS is home! ‘Once a Pirate, Always a Pirate’ runs deep in my family! We bleed Black and Gold, so it was a no brainer that I would teach here! I love investing time in the growth of youthful minds in our community! There is no better feeling than seeing a former student become a successful citizen in society! It is important to me that I help my students become better family members and friends, and good and kind citizens! I am always cheering my students on, throughout their 4 years of high school and beyond!”
Are you involved in any extracurricular clubs or sports at KHS?
I am the Pirate Pride Cheer Squad Coach and I am involved in a lot of student life on campus! Pep Rally planning, spirit days, class competitions, etc.
