Kathie Sheets

Trustee

“Children are our most important resource. We must work together to ensure they have the education needed to make informed decisions which will affect all our futures. As a trustee for the PHASD Board of Education, I will work for and base decisions on the best interests of our children and the district. It is my belief that decisions must be based on research and communication with all involved parties so that all aspects and consequences can be considered."
