Principal
(907)796-5856
I am so happy to serve as principal of JCCS for another year. This is my 29th year in education with 17 of those being in campus or district administration. Originally from Texas, I spent the first 18 years of my career teaching high school and serving as an administrator there. This year is my 7th year in Alaska and my third in Juneau and at JCCS. I am proud to be married to my better half, Frances, who teaches at JDHS. I also have two great daughters - Cai who is a third grader and Cia who is a three year old who thinks she runs the show. I enjoy doing things outdoors (preferably in the sunshine), movies, travel, and watching the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Hi there! I'm Ariana, and I've been the admin assistant at JCCS since January 2025. I have 3 amazing younger siblings who all attend this school, and it's been great being able to be part of their lives in a way that not everyone can. I've lived in Juneau for most of my life and am so grateful to call this beautiful community home. When I'm not at work, I enjoy cozy days with my friends and family or traveling whenever I can. It's such a joy to be part of the JCCS family and watch our Mighty Marmots shine!

Hi everyone! I’m Colleen, the new Office Assistant here at JCCS. I’m excited to connect with students and their families while helping keep the office running smoothly. Before joining the team, I worked as a Certified Medical Assistant, but after having my son in 2020, I set my sights on working in a school environment. Outside of work, I enjoy family nature walks, movie nights, board games, and reading.

I love Juneau for it's mountains, oceans, trails, and community.
