I have been the site administrator at JKBS for the last 13 years, but I have been at the school for 19 years! I love working in alternative education for many reasons, but mostly because we have the ability to do things differently than a regular classroom. Many of our students have struggled in traditional education classrooms. Because of our small size, we are able to find what works best for each student and help them achieve successes each day. It’s such a great feeling when we are able to send students back to the regular schools knowing we’ve helped them overcome some difficulties and given them the tools they need to be successful.

I love that no day is the same. I love seeing that lightbulb come on when a student figures something out or realizes that they can accomplish their goals. Being at JKBS for so many years, I've seen dozens of students come and go and with each one, I have learned something about myself as an educator that I didn't know before. My favorite thing is being able to help the students see their potential and help them achieve it.
