I am the director of Kingfisher and I've been with the school since its very inception. I always knew that I wanted and needed to work at a small community-based school and Kingfisher is the embodiment of that desire. I am very enthusiastic about our new site and our current school year. We are networking with a few other small schools and 

I am working with a new charter high school that has exciting plans that might include some of the older students in our school. We  have received full accreditation with quality in the past year from the Georgia Accrediting Commission and we are very proud of that.  We are also codifying the board of directors and reviewing our legal paperwork and insurance paperwork in preparation for writing some larger grants to support our art, music, and science programs. 

Kingfisher is a wonderful and challenging environment and we intend to keep it that way.  I live in Clarkston (about 15 minutes away) in Dekalb County and I have two adult children living and working in Atlanta.  I serve on several county and city committees and task forces, I spearhead the annual Clarkston Bike Rodeo event, I am a member of Sierra Club, Atlanta Science Tavern, Atlanta Birdwatchers Group, and am on The DeKalb County Juvenile Court's Citizens Review Panel.  I have a huge garden plot at the Clarkston Community Garden and I have a new aquarium, two Cocker Spaniels, two crazy cats.  I'm interested in all kinds of things, but recently have become extremely interested in urban planning and how it creates a certain quality of life for the citizens of an area.
