She sat in these classrooms. Now her kids do.

For Kate, this has come full circle. She graduated from Beaufort County schools, and today her twins are growing up in the same district. She runs a small business here and volunteers in the community.

That is why this is personal. Kate has seen firsthand the power of our public schools, and she lives with the decisions the board makes, the same way your family does.

What Kate will work on

Strong schools are built when community members, parents, and teachers work as genuine partners, united around student success. Kate's commitment comes down to three things.

Transparent leadership

Listening to parents, educators, and taxpayers with openness and respect.

You should know what the board is deciding and why, and you should be heard before it does.

Strong schools

Retaining the talented teachers who inspire our students each day.

Great teachers are the reason great schools work. Keeping them here comes first.

Smart planning

Thoughtful, long-term stewardship so our district remains strong for years to come.

Decisions made with the next ten years in mind, not just the next meeting.

Showing up and listening

When you call, someone should pick up. When you email, someone should write back.

Real leadership means showing up and listening to our classrooms and communities, and putting people ahead of politics. Whether or not you have kids in school, strong schools make a stronger community.

  • Calls get returnedA real answer from the person you elected.
  • Emails get answeredNo black hole. You will hear back.
  • Every neighbor countsParents, teachers, and taxpayers all have a seat at the table.
