Lead with Integrity. Serve on the School Board.
Important Note:
Due to changes in Indiana law,
Senate Bill 287 now allows school board candidates to
declare their political party affiliation on the ballot. While we
do not believe politics belongs in school board service, we feel it’s important to share this update so that potential candidates are
fully informed and
not discouraged by a lack of accessible information.

- Setting goals and vision for academic excellence and student well-being
- Listening to parents, teachers, and students and making decisions in the best interest of all
Who Can Run?
