      "In a small community, I think sports play a vital role in connecting the school to those in the community. Developing relationships with businesses and community members would be a focus area of mine in this role. Creating an environment where our school is supported by the community, the student-athletes are supported by our coaches and our coaches are supported by the administration is what I envision."
