Grundy Center schools hire new Secondary Principal

GRUNDY CENTER – During the meeting on Wednesday evening, the Grundy Center school board approved the hiring of a new Secondary Principal, Kristin Sheffield.
Sheffield brings 14 years of experience in the field of education with her to Grundy Center, having worked in the Earlham School District first as a high school English teacher, and then as the Curriculum Director.
She says she never really planned on being a principal, and at the beginning of her career she actually hoped to become a college professor. But a few years into her job as Curriculum Director she decided to purse an administration degree.
 “About three years ago or so, I got an administration degree,” she said. “I wanted to make sure I was doing my curriculum job purposefully and meaningfully, and that I have a chance to make good changes for students and make things more effective and efficient in order to give students better opportunities. And since then, I thought ‘yeah I would really like to do the principal job.’”
When an opportunity opened up in Grundy Center, she decided to throw her name in the hat.
