What else would you like to share with us?
I'm an Orthodox Christian, first generation Serbian-American that is passionate about my son's educational experience as well as every other student's experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed my elementary, junior high, and high school education journey and would do it all over again if possible. I want that same positive, merit-based, challenging educational experience for my son, my neighbors children, and for all children in the School District.
I'm not afraid to call out evil when I see it. My parents warned me about Communinism and it's dangers and the Marxist ideology will NEVER be tolerated in our School District.
I will fight against radical, Marxist ideologies from influence on any Lake Central student and preserve a healthy, safe, fun and competitive learning environment and experience so all Lake Central graduates are proud of their educational experience when reflecting upon their life's journey and successes.
