Strong Schools. Strong Families.
Strong Future.
As a member of the Carroll County Board of Education I will work to ensure that all CCPS students get a high quality education in a safe setting, that parents can continue to trust our schools to educate and not indoctrinate, that taxpayers can be confident their money is spent efficiently and wisely, and that teachers can feel supported and validated through policy and support systems in and out of the classroom.
I want parents today to feel the same confidence and comfort I did when my kids started in CCPS 18 years ago -- when Carroll County’s traditional educational and community values guided our schools, and classrooms were places for learning, not activism, when parents did not have to worry about violence in schools, and when concerns about technology in the classroom were in their infancy. Our policies matter, our priorities matter, and most importantly, our students matter. We must do what we can to give students the tools and motivation for success, to encourage and challenge them, and to ensure that parents and teachers are in solid partnership along the way.
Who is Shannon Hinkhaus?
My husband Hayward and I are both lifelong residents of Carroll County and Westminster High School graduates. I am also a proud graduate of Western Maryland College, now McDaniel College, here in Carroll County. I am a devoted wife and mother of three awesome young adults, all recent graduates of CCPS. My many years of experience with Carroll County schools have motivated and energized me to run for the school board, where I believe I can make a positive difference for Carroll County students, teachers, and residents.
I am a hard worker who prizes persistence and determination, and who recognizes that institutional success is never accidental, but rather the result of relentless pursuit. I will honor Carroll’s traditional values in every decision I make and ensure we can all continue to be proud of our investment in our children and their future.
