It is great to be back at Willow Glen High School !  As a Willow Glen community member I embrace the opportunity to work with our students, staff and school community. Willow Glen High is full of amazing programs, support services,  sports and clubs, and community activities.  I encourage all students and families to attend Willow Glen events and see the energy of the student body.  Willow Glen will continue to emphasize a school culture and instructional program that is conducive to student learning.

Let’s make everyday a Great Day to be a Ram !!!

I am pleased to have this opportunity to work with the students, staff, parents and community of Willow Glen High School. Every student at Willow Glen High School, regardless of grade level, should have a plan that will help them to realize their goals for life after high school. Over the last few years, the number of WGHS students who enter college directly after high school graduation has been greater than 90% of graduates. It is my goal to see that those numbers continue to increase. Go Rams!

Professional Experience

1997-2002: Willow Glen High School Science Teacher

I have been a part of the Willow Glen High School community since 1997. I am part of a great team that is here to make high school a successful endeavor for all our students, both academically and socially. WGHS staff are working to make our school work for your students in preparing them for what lies ahead in their future. We have a solid academic program with support for students when they need it. We have great opportunities for our students to learn about themselves through activities and programs after school. A good mixture of rigorous classes and school activities makes a great high school experience.

I have been a member of the Willow Glen High School staff since the early 1980s. I have taught physical education most of my teaching career. I also teach first aid and driver education.

When I took over as the Athletic Director in 2002, I retired from coaching after 25+ years. As the Athletic Director I have the opportunity to work with athletes, coaches, parents, teachers, administrators, and community members.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree, Masters in Adminstration degree and my teaching credential from San Jose State University.

I look forward to another exciting athletic year.
