Principal's Corner

I am honored and humbled to introduce myself as Principal of DeWitt High School. Thank you for this opportunity to serve the community in which I was raised.

I am a proud graduate of DeWitt High School (Class of 1997) and have lived in DeWitt since 1989. I completed my post-secondary schooling at Hope College, Western Michigan University, and Spring Arbor University with studies in the English Language Arts, History, and Education Leadership. I am encouraged that over the past 25 years DeWitt has never lost its small community climate and culture.

As a high school student, I was very fortunate to have participated in theatrical productions, choir, athletics, and a variety of clubs. I believe that providing a diverse set of extra-curricular offerings while encouraging participation in multiple activities is essential to the development and success of our students.

DeWitt High School continues to provide students with an outstanding education. My guiding principles are rooted in what is best for our students, our school, and our community. Through valuable and strong connections with ALL students, staff, parents, and community stakeholders, I look forward to the work that is necessary to promote, encourage, and cultivate excellence at DHS.
