Biography

Mrs. Clark joined the Lower Campus in June 2020. Originally from California, she earned her BA in Humanities from Fort Lewis College in Colorado. She went on to earn her MA in Education from Adams State College, as well as a Master Teacher Certification in Outdoor Education from Four Corners School of Outdoor Education. She also received her certificate in International School Leadership from the PTC.

Mrs. Clark previously served as the Head of Lower School at Cedar International School in British Virgin Islands, and she served as the Lower School Principal at Rancho Solano Prep School, a PK-12 school, in Scottsdale, Arizona. She has taught grades 1-5. During her 25 years as an educator, Mrs. Clark has developed curriculum, taught workshops, trained teachers, evaluated schools, and much more. She believes in educating the whole child, and feels strongly that challenging academics should be taught hand-in-hand with a robust co-curricular program.

Outside of school, Mrs. Clark loves traveling, cooking, gardening and spending time in the outdoors. She and her husband, Peter, have recently become empty nesters as their daughter headed off to college!
