Principal's Message

It is with immense excitement and Pirate Pride that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Wheelersburg Elementary School. I am thrilled to join this community and to work alongside dedicated educators, enthusiastic students, and supportive families.

I invite you to be active participants in your child's learning journey and to engage with the various activities and events we offer throughout the school year. Your involvement strengthens the connection between our school and the community, enriching the educational experience for all of our students.
