Beckie affirms, “I am looking forward to bringing my experience and ideas to assist the Ironwood Booster Club grow and be the best that it can be. See you at the school!”

Welcome Karen Dolyniuk, Vice President
Karen Doyniuk has been involved with the Marshall Ranch PTSO since her son, now 14, was in kindergarten. She has served as Treasurer, Secretary and, most recently as Vice President.
Karen and her husband Jerry have two children - Tyler, a freshman at Ironwood and Jessica , a 7th grader at Marshall Ranch. Karen and Jerry both work for Arizona Public Service (APS); Karen with APS parent company Pinnacle West Capital Corporation as the Manager of Treasury Operations.
Karen decided to take a role on the Booster Club board because she believes as a parent it’s important to be involved in our children’s education, helping to provide the best experience they can have. As Karen says, “Being part of the board allows me to get to know the administration and to help generate funding for items the school may not be able to acquire on its own. I also enjoy getting to know other parents and perhaps sharing experiences that will enhance our knowledge of high school life.”

Welcome Sandy Eberson, Secretary
Sandy Eberson has 3 children that have already graduated from Ironwood High School, and she recently shared that her daughter Chelsea just became a Cardinal's cheerleader. Sandy's youngest son, Ethan, is now a IHS sophmore and is a part of the Varsity Football Team. 

In addition to being married, the mother of 4, and involved in volunteering at Marshall Ranch Elementary, Sandy works full time.  She is continuing her tradition of being involved as she launches into new her new role with Ironwood Booster Club.  Sandy is excited for the opportunity to meet some new people, hoping that many more will get involved in the club and make it a great year!

Welcome Melissa Haughee, Treasurer

Melissa Haughee brings a long history of active service in parent organizations to her new role with the Ironwood HS Booster Club. She has been a member of the Marshall Ranch PTSO for the past 8 years, serving on the Board as VP for two years, and was named 2011-2012 Volunteer of the Year.

A part time Realtor, Melissa also owns and operates a construction company with her husband Eric. Their son, Austin, is a freshman and they are looking forward to the new and exciting world of high school.

Melissa originally started with the PTSO as a way to try out volunteering and contribute to the community she lives in. Along the way she has met many wonderful people and has learned a great deal about “giving back”, most of all how rewarding it feels. In her own words, “Our kids are only young once, and the smallest amount of time/involvement we can provide truly makes a difference in their lives! I am looking forward to being an EAGLE and meeting many new friendly faces here at Ironwood High School.”
