Suchy Assumes Role as Elementary Principal

The Minnewaska Area Schools is pleased to announce that Sarah Suchy, Director of Teaching, Learning, and Technology, will also assume the role of the Elementary Principal at Minnewaska Elementary School for the upcoming academic year. This temporary appointment comes as Sue Currens will be on medical leave to focus on her health and, upon returning, will fill our Special Education Coordinator role for the 2024-2025 school year.

Sarah Suchy brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to educational excellence to this interim role. As Director of Teaching, Learning, and Technology and previous principal, Suchy has been instrumental in implementing innovative instructional practices and leveraging technology to enhance student learning district-wide. She has a plethora of knowledge as she’s been an administrator in our district for the past eight years. In order for this transition to support our entire district, both Nate Meissner, principal at MAHS, and Susan Knutson, principal of WIN, will be backfilling where needed to ensure we continue to move forward with curricular changes and best practices.

“We are confident that our administrative team will provide strong leadership during Sue Curren’s absence,” said Chip Rankin, Superintendent of Minnewaska Area Schools. At the elementary school, I have no doubt that Sarah Suchy, with her proven track record of fostering collaboration and advancing educational initiatives, will ensure a seamless transition and continued focus on student success.”
