A Message from the Principal

Hello Falcon Family! 

It is with great pride that I welcome you to Western Peaks K-4 Elementary School! This is my ninth year as the Principal of Western Peaks. I have the honor of leading a  dedicated group of teachers and staff to support our students. As a team, we are motivated to make Western Peaks the school where our young learners will receive outstanding learning opportunities!  

As I enter my 27th year in education, I am thankful and blessed to be part of the Western Peaks Falcon Family! In my educational career, I have served as a second grade, third grade, and fifth grade teacher. As well, I have served as a Reading Coach, Instructional Coach, and as an Assistant Principal. This is my 16th year in the Dysart Unified School District.  

I am an Arizona native and graduated from Bradshaw Mountain High School. I received my bachelors and masters degrees from Northern Arizona University. I live in Surprise with my husband, youngest son, and my three Boston Terriers. My youngest son is a senior at Willow Canyon. My oldest son is grown and on his own creating an extraordinary life as a young adult.  

Please feel free to contact me at any time. I believe that it takes a partnership and teamwork to help each child achieve his or her full potential. Let’s make this an extraordinary year.
