Dr. Justin Roberson

Superintendent

Just a little bit about myself…I was born in Marengo, Iowa the son of a high school teacher (father) and nurse (mother). I received my schooling in a small farming town in Northeast Iowa. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa in elementary education, my master’s degree and doctorate from Northern Arizona University in educational leadership.

I moved to Tuba City in 1996 and began my teaching career. I taught 14 years with the Tuba City Unified School District grades 2-6 and was a principal for 11 years on four different campuses.

In addition to spending time with students, staff and families, I am an avid sports fan. I enjoy spending time with my three children in the outdoors. Some of the activities we are fond of are swimming, camping and hiking; as well as road trips to new destinations.

Received Doctorate in educational leadership from NAU

My name is Kaylee Sandall and it’s a privilege to serve on the school board and to be part of such a close-knit, supportive community. I’ve always had a deep love for Parks —growing up just down the road in Flagstaff, I spent plenty of time here and grew up knowing this special place well. My family and I lived in Parks about 16 years ago, and even then, we knew we wanted to end up here for good. Four years ago, we were fortunate enough to return and make Parks our home again. Our four kids now attend/have attended Maine Consolidated. 

Being involved in our school and giving back to the community that has helped shape me and is shaping my own kids, is incredibly meaningful. I care deeply about the success of our students, the strength of our schools, and the future of Parks. It’s an honor to contribute to that future through my work on the board.
