12 years completed at HMS . I have 27 years in education now and it has gone so fast. When I started back in the 1900s, I didn't think I could do 30. Now 30 won't be enough. My wife has 24 years in education. My oldest son is in college at Anderson University. My scond son is a student at Brashier Charter High School. My daughter attends Hillcrest High. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with our 8th grade team. We work together to do our best for our students. Each year brings on new challenges and new opportunities. We will all grow and learn; hopefully in the right direction. We all will be FLEXIBLE and stay positive this year. I see a multitude of supportive faculty, parents, and students ready to begin a new adventure. I love to see and hear the excitement in the air when students know something big is happening soon. It really is a loving community here at HMS. I plan for the thirteenth year to be just as fun and productive; even more so than the first 12.
