The Board of Directors of PPS-PC is made up of individuals who offer experience, ideas, opinions and beliefs about the value of high-quality public education in Pitt County. We’re members of school communities throughout Pitt County and we work to find solutions that strengthen all our public schools, for each of our children.
We have great public schools in Pitt County and Parents for Public Schools makes them even stronger by getting parents and the community more involved in public education at every level.
I want to actively build quality public education and provide support to create the best possible school district for all children in my community. Our local Parents for Public Schools Chapter offers the opportunity to be part of a diverse, positive and effective solution for improving public education in our district.
I strongly believe that all children deserve quality schools and equal educational opportunities. Strong schools produce educated students who in turn, strengthen and enrich communities.

I am involved with PPS because of a 3 letter word: FOR. I truly believe that public education is only made stronger when we all work together in a positive way with the best education for each child as our end goal. Parents for Public Schools does exactly this, working closely with parents, caregivers, community members, and the school system FOR each child living and growing in our community.
After having graduated from the first Parents for Public Schools PEP class. I felt so empowered and enthusiastic, I wanted to get involved with helping other parents become an active participant in their child's school and community. PPS and the PEP program helps parents become just that.
As a former principal, I'm committed to public education and want to ensure our parents have the knowledge and skills necessary to help their children succeed.
I decided to get involved with PPS Pitt County because I know how much stronger our public schools are when parents are engaged with our teachers, administrators and communities in helping to educate our children.
I believe that a strong public school system, meeting the needs of all children and enjoying broad community support, is critical to the future of our community and our country.
