Principal's Message

Nederland Middle-Senior High Community

Welcome to the start of the 2024-25 school year! I am very excited to begin a new year serving the Nederland community and all of our 6th through 12th grade students. My personal mission is to make the school experience of each student safe, accepting, and engaging. Our purpose is to provide excellent student experiences and outcomes. We want each student to realize their fullest potential during their time here at school.

Nederland Middle-Senior High School is committed to working with parents and guardians, as we look for ways to collaborate together while your students are here. The school community is critical to our school’s continuous improvement. You will see that we will be asking for everyone to contribute to the students' success, the school’s success and the community's success.

It is my belief that our students benefit greatly from the quality academic experiences in the classroom, their involvement in our fine arts, athletic offerings and leadership opportunities, and getting fully immersed in the Nederland school community. The more involved the better, especially in a small school like Nederland MS/HS. It is what makes our school a great place for students to grow and learn. 

Finally, I live locally and love the Nederland mountain community. This is a place where people care about each other and have great hope and aspirations for their kids. We will do everything we can to make that vision a reality.

Please reach out to me with any questions or if there is anything we can do to support you and your family. Go Panthers!
