The Alpine school district division begins with the November 2025 General Election, where voters will elect all 21 school board seats within their respective school board member districts. Once elected, the new board members will begin serving in December 2025 with three (3) to five (5) year terms. Over the following year, the three new districts will focus on crafting policies, hiring staff, including the superintendent, negotiating with other boards to decide which district gets what resources in the Alpine split and set property tax rates. The transition will culminate at the beginning of the 2027 school year when the newly formed districts, Lake Mountain, Aspen Peaks and Timpanogos districts, will officially start educating students. Lake Mountain School District will have 7 seats and encompass Lindon, Orem, Pleasant Grove and Vineyard. District Seat 1 will serve a three year term.

The division of Alpine School District into three new districts is unprecedented in Utah and will require collaboration, transparency, and a focus on students. I will work with the current Alpine Board to begin the transition in earnest, with shared goals and open communication that keeps families, staff, and educators informed. I’ll prioritize data-driven decisions, clear timelines, and preserving valued programs. Our greatest asset is our educators—we must support and include them throughout the process. With 25+ years working in local schools, I bring the experience, relationships, and steady leadership needed for a smooth, successful transition.
The new school board and superintendent will create a clear vision for our district—and every decision must support that vision. A top priority is preserving diverse programs that meet student needs, including special ed, DLI, ALL, CTE, and strong high school offerings. As we evaluate programs, we must take a thoughtful, data-driven approach—reviewing outcomes, enrollment, and cost-effectiveness while listening to our community. We should also deepen partnerships, including with UVU, to create student pathways. PTAs and School Community Councils can help promote transparency and communication. I’m committed to building a strong district with vision and care.
One of the best ways to retain great educators is to elect school board members who understand, value, and support them. With 25+ years of service in North Orem schools—at the local, cluster, and district levels—I’ve built trusted relationships with teachers, staff, and administrators. Many are watching this election closely as they decide where to work. I’ll be a steady, collaborative advocate who listens to their concerns and prioritizes support, stability, and respect. That means competitive pay, strong benefits, and access to the proven professional development models Alpine has done well. When educators thrive, students succeed.
Through years of PTA and School Community Council service, I’ve worked with educators and English Language Learners coaches doing incredible work to support students from all backgrounds. I’m committed to continuing that in our new district. We must keep using what works—differentiated instruction, data-driven teaching, and targeted Tier 2 and 3 interventions—and invest in teacher training to meet diverse classroom needs. Closing the achievement gap also means building relationships, creating belonging, and partnering with families through clear communication and community support. Helping families with barriers they face promotes success. Every student deserves a high-quality education—and a district that helps them thrive.
As someone who’s worked closely with educators and families, I know our teachers care deeply about students’ emotional well-being—not just academics. Creating schools where students and staff feel safe and supported must be a top priority. Clubs, extracurriculars, and positive connections build belonging. We must normalize mental health conversations, support teachers with training and manageable workloads, and provide access to wellness resources. I’ve helped lead parent outreach on mental health and will advocate for funding, grants, and legislation to increase mental health services so every student and educator can thrive.
