"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

 

Ms. Gordon

At our school, we are creating an environment where excellence thrives. Our dynamic sports program fosters teamwork, resilience, and school spirit, while our innovative teaching staff brings creativity and passion to every classroom, ensuring students are engaged and inspired. Our curious and motivated students are eager to explore, question, and grow, making this a place where learning extends beyond the classroom. We are shaping future leaders, thinkers, and achievers—this is the place to be!

As an experienced principal with over 15 years of leadership in various capacities, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our school community. With a Master’s in School Administration and an Ed.D. in Teaching and Learning, I am committed to fostering an environment where academic excellence, personal growth, and accountability are at the forefront.

I am the mother of 3 adult children and the grandmother of 4, who are the joy of my life. I am originally from Texas and enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures. Family is central to me, and I bring this love of connection and learning into both my professional and personal life.

St. Mary's in rural western Alaska offers a unique teaching experience, with stunning natural beauty, rich Indigenous culture, and strong community ties. The school provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, fostering growth and connection in a close-knit, supportive environment.
