Bland ISD

I have been married to my amazing husband, Dustin, for over 27 years now.  

I have two children.  My daughter, Ashleigh graduated from Oklahoma State University and is now attending Mizzou’s School of Veterinary Medicine.  My son, Austin graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Business Degree.  Both of my kids graduated from Bland High School as Valedictorian’s, therefore I take a lot of pride in the education, programs, and the traditions that they experienced here.  

I believe that the future of the world is in my classroom today; a future with the potential to become positive role models for future generations and responsible contributing members of society.  I think that every student has the potential for success.  I love how each year provides me with a great ability to influence students’ lives and with opportunities to improve tomorrow. I like to recognize each student for something positive and encourage each student to see their strengths, build better self-esteem, and improve their skills.  I urge students to utilize their imagination, ingenuity, and curiosity to explore and discover whatever it is that they wish to become.  I want learning to be fun, exciting, and to awaken my students’ desire to succeed and to give them the confidence that they can overcome challenges.
