I am excited and look forward to another great year at MHS. This is my 20th year here and my 22th year overall.   I maintain a focus of bringing my real world experiences into the class room.  This enhances my lessons and adds invaluable knowledge for my students. I have the opportunity of sharing my unique perspective with students using my knowledge of history, business, and real life experiences.  I look forward to seeing my students succeed this year and in their future. 

I have three degrees: Business/Marketing, History, and a Master’s in Administration and Leadership.  I am certified in Gifted and Talented and AP US History.  I am also an entrepreneur.  I was President and CEO of Aztec Electronics Inc. for thirteen years and currently the owner of Crossway Properties, LLC.

I'm still and have been the Academic Team Coach for the last 16 years here at MHS.  I also organized and run the Investing Club where I teach students about the stock market, mutual funds, real estate other forms of investing. 

Tardy Policy

Mauldin High School expects students to be in class on time.  Students have six minutes between classes to help them manage the hallways, go to lockers, visit restrooms and move from one end of the campus to the other.  Uninterrupted time on task is vital to the educational process and is one of the major goals at Mauldin High School. Students coming into class late disrupt that process. 

In order to have an excused tardy to class, a student must present:

• a late permit marked excused from the attendance clerk for students just arriving at school,

• a note from another teacher if detained by that teacher,

• a pass from administrators or guidance personnel who have detained the student,

• or a health room pass from the nurse.

When a student does not have such a note, his/her tardy is unexcused. The teachers and administrators will consistently follow a sequence of consequences for tardies:

• Tardy 1 Teacher warning

• Tardy 2 Teacher warning and call home

• Tardy 3 Teacher detention/ consequence

• Tardy 4 Discipline Referral: 1-Hour Administrative After School Detention

• Tardy 5 Discipline Referral: 2-Hour Saturday Detention, Warning letter for parking privileges (for 1st period tardies)

• Tardy 6 Discipline Referral:, 4-Hour Saturday Detention, Parking privileges revoked for 10 days (for 1st period tardies)

• Tardy 7 Discipline Referral: 1 block ISS for corresponding class period, 4-Hour Saturday Detention, Parking privileges revoked for 30 days (for 1st period tardies)

• Tardy 8 + Discipline Referral: Full day of ISS, Parking privileges revoked for the rest of the year (for 1st period tardies)

*Failure to attend assigned detention may result in a full day assignment to ISS.

*Tardies reset at the start of each quarter.

*Students who miss more than 45 minutes of class will be counted as absent for the class period per attendance.

Cell Phone (PED) Policy

• Cell phones should not be accessible, visible, or in use at any time while inside the classroom. 

• Cell phones may be used appropriately outside of the classrooms before school, during class changes, during lunch, and after school.
