Our Focus

What is important in the Amphitheater District

  • Students First
    • Support high-quality instruction and meaningful learning in every classroom.  
    • Ensure all students—across every school in our district—have access to strong instruction, essential resources, and support services, even within Arizona’s funding challenges.
    •  Assure access to mental health resources and foster positive and safe school cultures. 
    • Expand career and college pathways, including CTE and dual enrollment.
  • Strong Teachers
    • Prioritize teacher retention, professional respect, and sustainable workloads.  
    • Create positive environments that support teachers, respect their expertise, and acknowledge their voice in policy decisions.  
    • Develop expertise in thoughtful  incorporation of technology and artificial intelligence in the classroom.
  • Smart Spending
    • Ensure that monies are used effectively to directly support students and classrooms. 
    • Manage enrollment and resources to keep class sizes reasonable and schools strong.
    • Build trust in fiscal management through transparency, communication, and active listening with all stakeholders and by adopting a more proactive (vs reactive) strategy. 
    • Good governance should be data- and community-driven with kids at the center.
  • New Superintendent

    The voice of students, teachers, parents, and the community need to heard in making policy and financial decisions.  I welcome your input on any and all topics that affect the quality of education our students receive in the Amphi School District.
