    I have been in education for over 28 years. My career in education started as a middle school science teacher in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Since then I have taught middle school and high school science and worked as an assistant principal. I received my bachelor’s degree from Concordia College in Moorhead. My master’s degree was earned from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. I attended St. Mary’s University (Minnesota) for my doctoral degree. I am honored to be principal at McGuire Middle School and serve the Lakeville community. I want to make sure your experience at McGuire is outstanding.  Go COUGARS!!
