This is my 2nd year at RHS and the beginning of my 22nd year in education. I am a mom to two awesome children, Trinity, 19 and Randall, 16. Being a part of the Robinson and PCSSD Family is and has been one the most rewarding experiences of my career. I look forward to an amazing school year, with amazing students, amazing staff, and an amazing administrative team. One of my personal mottos is S.I.M.P.L.Y Educating Successful Kids.
