Leadership grounded in human potential
Darlene believes every child deserves an equitable education regardless of race, ability, ZIP code, social status, gender identity, or personal circumstance. Students learn best in communities where they feel safe, welcomed, respected, and supported.
It is my mission to create a supportive educational community through professional growth and restorative practice that creates relationships supporting students to follow their path to success with integrity, citizenship, and curiosity.
