Welcome to Alan Shepard Elementary School!

My career proudly began in education 29 years ago as an elementary teacher.  Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a primary classroom teacher, dean of students, assistant principal, and principal.   I have three daughters who have attended Bourbonnais schools since kindergarten.  I'm truly grateful to work in the community I reside in.

I believe that all students deserve to feel safe while learning in a warm, caring, and fun environment.  I also believe that all children can learn and achieve anything they put their minds to with hard work, determination, and resiliency. I am honored to be part of your child’s education and to serve this amazing school community, including staff, students, and families.

LEARNING IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION. LET'S ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
