I am a 1987 graduate of Louisville High School and I have been married for 23 years. I have two daughters, Felicity and Elizah, who are both students in the Louisville school district. I also have two spoiled dogs - A terrier mix named Camie and a Plott hound/lab mix named Ally. Both were rescued by the Save-A-Mom shelter. My husband & I worked with special needs children for many years and we are involved with several volunteer organizations. After living in various places throughout Ohio, we moved back to Louisville and have made it our home. This is an extraordinary school district and I feel lucky to have my children learn here!
