Principal's Message
Hello DES Families,
I hope you have all had a wonderful summer and are getting excited for another year of learning
and growing at Danbury Elementary School. It is my first year at DES and I am very excited to be part
of this community. I have been in education for over 20 years, with 12 years teaching experience before
moving to administration. Before joining the Newfound School District I was a Head of School at
Seacoast Charter School in Dover and have worked as an administrator internationally and in other New
Hampshire schools. I look forward to meeting you all and a wonderful school year ahead.
