Wheaton is proud to formally announce the addition of Mrs. Kayla Haynes who will be joining the administrative team as our new PK-6 Principal. Here is a short introduction from Mrs. Haynes:
"My name is Kayla Haynes. I was born and raised in the St. Louis area. I moved to the Springfield area in 2011 and decided to make Southwest Missouri my new home. I currently live in Monett with my husband, Aaron, one daughter, Olivia, two sons, Owen and Hudson, and our rambunctious dog, Maverick. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors. We enjoy swimming, taking trips to Silver Dollar City, and traveling. We enjoy watching baseball, but we are a split household between the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals. When it comes to football, we all support the KC Chiefs!
I am excited for the opportunity to serve our Wheaton students! One of the most important aspects of my role as WES Principal, will be building strong relationships with our students, staff, and families. I am very passionate about how students learn best and look forward to this new opportunity to grow together. With that in mind, you can expect that I will work diligently to make sure our students are exposed to rich educational experiences that are both engaging and challenging. I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my skills and experience to lead WES to new heights of success by continuing to celebrate and build on the strong traditions already built within this school community. With the outstanding community support, talented staff, and student desire to learn; the future in Wheaton is very bright! "
