Superintendent/Principal’s Message

I am excited to be the Superintendent/Principal of Glenn Public School for my 5th year. We are the oldest, continuous, operating rural school district in the state of Michigan; we have been in operation since 1854! This Kindergarten through 5th-grade nature-rich school boasts amazing students and staff. The connections between the school and community are essential to grow good citizens and community members.​

 

Prior to this administrator position, I was the Upper Elementary teacher, Summer School Teacher, Physical Education teacher, paraprofessional, and after-school coordinator at Glenn, all since coming here in 2010. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Grand Valley State University in Physical Education with a minor in Elementary Education. I also received my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Grand Valley State University. I also hold a Central Office Endorsement from the Horizon Leadership Academy through the Michigan Association of Superintendents & Administrators.​

 

I am and have been involved in many volunteer opportunities. I am the Membership Chairperson for the Fennville/Pullman/Lakeshore Rotary. I also sit on a few scholarship committees for high school seniors, including one right here at Glenn. I am a former Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) with Safe Harbor. I also served on the Foster Care Review Board for Allegan, Ottawa, and VanBuren Counties. I sat on the Bloomingdale Public Schools School board and the Van Buren County Association of School Boards for several years.

 

​I enjoy cooking and baking, especially for my family. I look forward to spending time and going on vacations with my husband, Ray, who is a truck driver. We bought a camper this summer, so new adventures await us! I also like hanging out with my son, Seth, who is a chef. I am the oldest of 4girls and the aunt to 3 nieces and 2 nephews, and now many more since I got married.
