As we approach the holiday seasons and put
a little more emphasis on being Thankful and
looking for opportunities to Give to Others…
Please consider nearby places that might not be obvious. One example would be the Health Room at your
school. Why not contact Mrs. Mary Erwin ([email protected]) to see if you can do anything to help out.
Hopefully you don’t need the nurses’ services often. But when you do, it’s so nice to know that they are there
for your kids!!

teachers and that every student is
accounted for with regard to their
education.
many school groups, including PTA
and athletic boosters, and served
on numerous district committees,
including extracurricular and middle
school transition committees and
strategic planning team. I believe that
these connections give me an extensive
and varied experience and knowledge
of the Oak Hills school community.
Q What qualifications do you possess
that would make you an asset to
the Oak Hills School District and the
Community?
Q What is your vision for the Oak Hills
School District in the coming years.
A I see a district that seeks to enrich
the educational experience, including
academic, athletic and performing
and creative arts, for students with ALL
different levels of ability, to meet their
needs at whatever that level might be,
and to assist each student to reach
their fullest potential.
A I am a graduate of Oak Hills High
School. My wife and two of my kids
are graduates of Oak Hills High School.
I have two more kids still attending
schools in the Oak Hills School District.
I am a dedicated volunteer in the
school district having served on four
different PTAs for the past 16 years now,
8 years as a President of one of those
PTAs. I have coached for Bridgetown
Baseball for eight years and one
year with Oak Hills Youth Athletics. I
volunteer with the Oak Hills Band, the
Rapid Run Bands, Orchestras, and
Choirs, and the PTA Musicals. As a
result, I have a lot of interaction with all
our great kids and our great teachers
and I see firsthand their challenges,
successes, and struggles. I am ready to
be a bigger part of the process to help
our district be even more successful.
Q What is your vision for the Oak Hills
School District in the coming years.
A I want all the children in our district
to have access to the highest quality
education we can provide while
stretching our limited funding as far
as we can. I want to continue to avoid
additional levies and renewals but raise
expectations. I want to reduce how
much time we spend testing so the kids
can spend more time learning. I do not
want to just pass the benchmark by a
narrow margin, I want each kid to do
the best they can and have many more
kids achieve at higher levels.
