It has always been my dream to lead an elementary school that focuses on early childhood education. I loved teaching kindergarten and believe that making an educational impact on students during their early years can set a strong foundation for success, and develop lifelong learners.

Lina Polchinski, Assistant Principal

I am drawn to the elementary assistant principal role because it combines my passion for teaching, learning, and leadership. Through my K–12 experience, I have developed a strong understanding of student growth and the importance of engaging and accessible curriculum. I am motivated by working closely with teachers and students to support instruction, use data to improve learning, and build relationships that help students succeed. This role allows me to make a broader impact by creating a positive school culture where everyone can thrive.
