School Leadership

Principal's Welcome: High School

I am thrilled to welcome you to Big Lake High School! I have always been motivated by the opportunity to empower others, and serving as your principal allows me to support our students, staff, and families while fostering an environment where everyone can grow and succeed.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is watching students discover their strengths and realize they have the power to make a positive difference in their community. Every day brings new opportunities to see our students overcome challenges and develop into confident, compassionate young adults. We intentionally foster a welcoming culture where everyone feels valued and connected, because strong relationships are the foundation of a successful school.

What makes Big Lake High School truly special is our people. I am incredibly proud to work alongside an amazing community, dedicated staff, and supportive families who are completely committed to the future of our students. We will continue to build upon this strong foundation, putting students at the heart of every decision we make while collaborating to enhance our outstanding existing programs.

At Big Lake High School, we don't simply prepare students for graduation—we prepare them for life. Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to postsecondary success, we provide diverse, rigorous opportunities including College in the Classroom, Advanced Placement (AP) courses, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and Youth Apprenticeships. Whether a student chooses a four-year university, technical college, the workforce, or the military, our goal is to ensure every graduate leaves equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in whatever comes next.
