Principals Corner

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year!  I am looking forward to another outstanding year at Cascade View Elementary School. As your principal, I could not be happier to serve this great community!  I am fortunate to work with our talented staff, amazing students and supportive parents. I want to take a few moments to share a little about me and my past experiences. 

Professionally, I have been involved in educating children for the past 35 years. Before coming to CVES I spent 11 years as the principal at North Bend Elementary School.  I served for seven years as the building principal in the Centralia School District at Oakview Elementary School. Six years prior to that I was the assistant principal/athletic director in the Rochester School District at Rochester Middle School. Before becoming an administrator, I was a 4-12 teacher and athletic coach for eight years in the Onalaska School District. Personally, I am married, have four children and five grandchildren. In my spare time I love to hike, mountain bike the many trails our area provides, travel and spend time with family.

I have genuine concern for students that I work with and have high behavioral and academic expectations.  I look forward to making a positive impact on your children as I get to know them through daily interaction and the many events that have been planned for the year. 

As you know, you are a vital part of your child’s education.  My hope is that we can work together to make this a fantastic year.  Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions, comments, or concerns.  I will be happy to discuss your child with you and hope that we can work together to make this a wonderful learning environment for everyone.

I am honored to be the principal of CVES and am confident that it will be a great year for all of us.
