Principal's Message

Dear OV Students and Families,

I have been so honored to work at OV since 2019 in the role of an Assistant Principal, and now as your principal. A motto that I often communicate is that life is about people and not places.  It is the people at Ocean View, the staff, students, parents, that make this school so amazing. I believe that education is about opportunity and I want to do my part to ensure that there are academic, athletic, and relational opportunities for our students to pursue.  I believe deeply in the talents and strengths that our staff and students all have and I will do my best to encourage the growth and development of these talents and strengths.  I will listen to your ideas and do my best to advocate for necessary change that will benefit our students and their futures.

I am excited for this next chapter of the OV legacy as we celebrate 50 years reflecting on all that has been accomplished on this campus and the people who have made their presence known as a Seahawk.  I am also excited to look ahead at what OV will be in the next 50 years.  We have goals for our students, and achieving them requires dedication, grit, and heart, all of which I have seen in our students, their families, and our wonderful staff. I am looking forward to modeling intentional, passionate effort directed toward student success. Our staff is dedicated to the success of our students. Everything we do, every decision we make, every relationship we build, and every hour of hard work we put in is for the good of our students. They are the "why" behind our "what."

I am here to serve you, support you, and champion the incredible work that is being done every day on our campus. My door will continue to be open or you can find me at an event and I will listen.  We will work together for the good of our students, and I could not be more excited about this next year at Ocean View High School.
