Amber Shuck Named McCulloch Elementary Principal
It is with excitement that the Republic School District announces Ms. Amber Shuck as the new principal for McCulloch Elementary effective July 1, 2017! Throughout her 17 year career in education Ms. Shuck has developed a very full toolbox of educational resources, and she is looking forward to sharing those tools with the McCulloch community.
Currently, Ms. Shuck is in her second year as head principal at Hollister Elementary. Prior to her time in Hollister Ms. Shuck served as a classroom teacher and literacy coach for ten years here in Republic at Sweeny and Schofield elementaries. She also held similar roles at Willard School District as she began her career in education.
Ms. Shuck holds a degree in elementary education, a master's degree in educational administration and also in K-12: special reading and she is currently pursuing a doctorate in educational administration. With experience in leading a Leader in Me school and implementing initiatives like PBIS and classroom technology integration, we are confident Ms. Shuck is the right instructional leader to help the McCulloch community continue to thrive.
In the coming weeks information will be distributed regarding an opportunity for patrons to meet McCulloch's new principal and also how McCulloch students will be introduced to their new principal. In the meantime, please join us in welcoming Ms. Shuck!
