It is my privilege and joy to welcome you to Gary Lighthouse Charter School – Upper Campus. I am honored to serve as your Principal, a role I have proudly held for the past 11 years. Each year brings new opportunities for growth, achievement, and community, and I am excited about the potential that lies ahead for our scholars, staff, and families.

Whether you are returning to our Lions Den, joining us as a new family, or learning more about our school, we welcome you into a community built on strong relationships and shared purpose.

At Upper Campus, our commitment is guided by our ROAR values: Relationships, Opportunities, Achievement & Accountability, and Resilience, and strengthened through our 5 Ps: Prompt, Positive, Prepared, Polite, and Productive. These values are the foundation of our school culture, shaping the way we learn, lead, and grow together.

We are deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment where every scholar is encouraged to set ambitious goals, overcome challenges, and celebrate academic and personal success. We take pride in preparing our scholars not only for the classroom, but also for leadership and lifelong success

As we continue to build on our strong foundation, I am grateful for your trust, your partnership, and your belief in what we can accomplish together. Here's to continued growth, achievement, and pride as we ROAR Loud and Lead Proud!
