Mrs. Kimberly Leonard
My name is Kim Leonard, and I am happily married to my husband, Dwight, for 29 years. Together, we have three wonderful children: Josh, Grace, and Suzy, who have been the center of our world. Our family is completed by our two dogs, Moose and Zoey, who we adore. In my free time, I love to spend time together, go on vacation, or attend our kids' sporting and music events at school. I am also an avid sewer and love to create memory blankets, pajamas, and other creations.
I am completing my second year as a principal here and previously worked for 4 years as a teacher. Being an educator has been one of my greatest passions, and I find it immensely rewarding to make a positive impact on the lives of my students and their families.
