Welcome to Jefferson Primary, where JOY and KINDNESS lead to SUCCESS!  Here at Jefferson, we take pride in finding JOY with everything we do, especially when it comes to educating students.  We are brave, helpful, hard-working leaders!  Our purpose is to provide a safe and creative school climate by building positive relationships, resulting in high academics and social achievement for ALL students.

At Jefferson Primary we:

  • Welcome all children and parents.

  • Collaborate with families to ensure open communication.

  • Build a strong home-to-school connection.

  • Nurture, respect and value all children.

  • Ensure that all students are healthy, happy and safe.

I look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. I am extremely proud to serve as the Principal of this amazing learning community for the 3rd year and to continue to support the students of Jefferson Primary!  This year, you will notice the strong influence of Excellence as the year unfolds!  As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in this year’s journey. The Jefferson staff has always made a priority of working together as a caring and compassionate learning community with professionalism, teamwork, action, and expertise. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose.

With 30 years of experience in education, I remain driven by the personal growth and achievements of each student. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to inspiring and advocating for our young learners. I will continue to bring my passion, enthusiasm, and expertise to further enhance the unique educational programs that Findlay City Schools offers. But above all, I am committed to listening, learning, and understanding what makes our Jefferson Trojans thrive.  Building and maintaining strong relationships is at the core of my educational philosophy. I value the input and ideas of our staff, students, and families and believe that collaboration is key to our success. I encourage you to share your thoughts and aspirations for our school. As we continue to cultivate a sense of community, I will ensure that every family feels welcomed and connected. Stay tuned for upcoming Principal Chats and family events, and remember that I am always here to listen and support you.

GO TROJANS!!!
