We are excited to announce that Jory Houser will be the Principal at West Elementary! Here is an introductory statement from Mr. Houser:
"I am very honored and excited to join West Elementary as your new Principal. My passion has always been to assist as many students as possible. It led me to start my career in education in school counseling so that I could broaden my impact on students and work with students multiple years in a row to build relationships with them and their families. I have previously worked in elementary, middle, and high school. I have education experience in the USA, Turkey, Mexico and China that have helped me grow as an educator. I have experience in urban and rural school districts that assist me in bringing ideas to the table. I have also worked at court ordered institutions for youth. I hope these varied experiences will enhance my impact in this position."
Mr. Houser has served as the assistant principal at Crocker Elementary in Ankeny for the past four years, and he is returning home to Marion County. We are thrilled that he chose Knoxville and look forward to introducing him to our community!
With this new addition, we do want to also recognize and appreciate Mrs. Amy Taylor for her leadership of West Elementary over the last two years.
Please help us welcome Doug Hatch as the first Head Girls Wrestling Coach in Knoxville school history!
Don't forget to join us for the RABGRAI Town Hall Meeting at KPAC on Wednesday May 29th at 6:00pm.
