Educational Opportunities
Ladue Horton Watkins High School consistently ranks as one of the best in the nation. Our renovated high school now provides a twenty-first century facility to support our outstanding academic program. We must continue to provide excellent educational opportunities to all of our students. This means we must be dedicated to equity, to enable every child in our diverse student body to achieve his/her maximum potential. This means that every student should see a path to the development of their own unique talents and interests, including Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math (STEAM) as well as language arts, social studies, and languages. To enable this, we must provide an environment in which students feel safe and valued for who they are.
Fiscal Responsibility
In the time I have served on the School Board, including three terms as Board
President, we have significantly improved the financial health of the District.
- Implemented minimum fund balance percentage of spending requirement,
to assure that we act proactively to assure the District’s longterm
financial well-being
- Upon passage of Proposition 1, instituted 5-year spending guidelines that
resulted in postponing a further tax levy increase for at least 8 years
- Over $5 million in operating spending cuts were identified and implemented
- District’s fund balance went from $12 million to $33.6 million
Looking Forward
Excellence in education results from a team effort. Our District can justifiably be proud of its entire staff. We have a well-qualified, creative team of classroom teachers, counselors, administrators and support staff, dedicated to providing our students with a wide range of learning opportunities. We must be dedicated to retaining our outstanding educators, while also working to be sure they are representative of our diverse student population.
