Bettencourt says she, her husband, and three children love spending their free time fishing, camping, hiking, and skiing.

Bettencourt says she also enjoys photography and sitting down with a good book in her free time.   

Please join in congratulating Kim. Thank you for your commitment and continued dedication to 51 and its faculty, staff, and students.
