"I am prepared to work with the Fairview Park City Schools staff and parents to achieve a shared vision for ensuring each student receives a high quality education based on students' individual needs."

While in Avon, Kocar served as Principal of Heritage South Elementary. The school received an excellent rating on the local report card during her three years there.
