My name is Aimee Oxarart and I am the new Principal at PJHS. Next year will be my 20th year in education and my 6th year as an administrator. I went to Illinois State University for my Bachelor's Degree in History Education and two Master's in both Teaching and Learning as well as Administration. I am currently a doctoral candidate with just my dissertation left to go! I am a mother of three wonderful children: Colin (23), Tru (17), and Ryn (13). I have two boxers (Zero and Mamba) and enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, horror movies/books, and all things Disney.
