As I step out the door and into retirement, I would like to thank the entire Lake Villa 41 staff, students, families, and community for welcoming me and working with me these past nine and a half years. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve as your superintendent. Jeep, Harry, and I look forward to visiting and watching all the great things that will happen under Dr. Sandy Keim-Bounds' amazing leadership!
