In today’s world, families have options. That’s why our schools need to offer students and families what they need to feel connected and thrive. We need to be the clear first choice.

This means strong academics, safe environments, and programs that reflect our community’s values and priorities. When parents trust board leadership to work toward a preferred future for all, they put down roots and invest deeply. That’s how great districts grow.

Public schools are more than classrooms—they’re places where communities come together. From sports and performances to PTA meetings and district events, our schools reflect the strength and spirit of Stow-Munroe Falls.

As a board member, I’ll work to ensure our buildings and programs remain centers of excellence and community pride. Because when our schools thrive, our community benefits.

Every student should feel like they belong. Every child should see a future filled with possibility. That starts with inclusive practices and equitable access to resources so all students can thrive. A safe student is a learning student. Additionally, teachers and support staff should have the resources they need to provide our students a high quality education.

Our schools must be places where opportunity lives—where all students, regardless of background, can discover their passion as they build their own preferred future.
