About Papillion La-Vista High School

I graduated from Morningside College with a B.S. in Biology Education and taught science for 12 years - first at Bishop Heelan Catholic High School in Sioux City, IA and then here at Papillion-La Vista High.  I earned my M.S. in Educational Administration from UNO and my Educational Specialist degree from Wayne State.  I have been the 11th grade principal at PLHS for the past 9 years.  In addition to discipline, I am in charge of educational technology, coordinate the professional development program and our Professional Learning Teams.  Our students and staff make this a very special place that I am proud to say is the best high school in the state.  Go Monarchs!
