Principal's Corner

Welcome to Heron School, home of the flyers! I am honored to be the principal and part of the Heron community.  At Heron TK-8 School, we embrace the Responsive Classroom Model, an approach to education that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth within a safe and supportive school community. Our STEAM academic focus ensures that students are actively engaged in their learning through inquiry-based instruction in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics throughout the day. We are excited to be expanding our ART program from Art 1 and Advanced Art in middle school to now include art units of study in grades TK-6th, providing creative opportunities for all our students. Additionally, we will continue our literacy writing focus using explicit Step-Up-To-Writing strategies in TK-8, which help our students organize their thinking and develop strong writing skills across all grade levels.

I have had the privilege to work in the field of education for 29 years, with 10 of those years as a principal. I live in Roseville with my husband. We have two children, ages 20 and 21, who are in college. I am passionate about students' academic success and personal growth. Through collaboration and partnership with our Heron families and staff, I am committed to providing a rigorous and nurturing learning environment where students learn to SOAR.
