I feel very fortunate to be involved in the Dunlap community and to work with the teachers and staff at DHS. They truly are the best!

I reside in the Dunlap district with my husband, Brett and our children Vincent and Brynn, who attend Hickory Grove Elementary.

I am looking forward to another great year at DHS! Roll Eags!

My hometown is Freeport, IL . I attended Bradley University for my Bachelor's Degree and Lamar University for my M.Ed in Administration. I began my teaching career at Quest Middle School where I taught 8th grade social studies for three years.

My husband and I live in Peoria with our four month old daughter, Riley. We love spending our free time with family and friends, traveling, going to concerts, and sporting events. We are major sports fans and will always root for the Chicago Bears, Cubs & Bulls!

Hello, I'm Tim Kennedy, the new assistant principal at Dunlap High School. With 28 years of experience in education, I've had the pleasure of teaching special education across all levels and leading computer and technology courses. My journey has also taken me through various administrative roles, including principal, technology director, and special education administrator.

Beyond the classroom and office, you'll find me embracing the great outdoors—camping, fishing, and biking are my favorite pastimes. I enjoy time spent with my large family in Peoria and am excited to bring my passion for education and community to Dunlap High School.

Mrs. Arianne Felts is beginning her 20th year in education, and will begin her third year as an Assistant Principal at Dunlap High School this year. She will serve students whose last names begin with the letters H-O.

Mrs. Felts holds a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). She also holds a Master's degree in Urban Educational Leadership from UMKC.

Mrs. Felts believes that every student can learn, can grow, and can be successful. She is dedicated to helping every student be the best version of themselves each day. To ensure this, Mrs. Felts works to build positive, trusting relationships with her students. Mrs. Felts also values strong partnerships with her student's families. She encourages students' families to communicate with her when there are concerns, questions, or worries that arise through the school year.

Hi, I'm Kristin Thompson. Born and raised in Michigan. My family moved here in 2020. Former military family (husband, Marine Corps). I have two children, Bentley (7yrs) & Ensley (5yrs). Our family enjoys being outdoors, traveling & camping. I love the ocean, sharks especially. I want to live on the beach when I retire, wishful thinking. This is my second year with the Dunlap district and I'm so excited! I will be in the office tracking student attendance. If you need to report an absence, please email dhsattendance@dunlapcusd.net.

I have worked for the Dunlap district for 5.5 years and am mom to two Dunlap graduates. I am Southern by birth and a Mechanical Engineer by trade. Following 8 years in the engineering field in South Carolina, I became a stay-at-home mom with my children in 2003 and was blessed to continue in that role for the next 15 years. During that time, my husband was transferred to Peoria, IL with CAT, and we relocated to the Dunlap district. In 2019, I chose to return to work as Secretary at Dunlap Middle School so that I could stay on the same schedule as my children. I loved working with the DMS staff, students, and families for 3 years and now have the opportunity to serve as the Principal's Secretary at DHS this school year. I am looking forward to another great year at DHS!!
