Meet the Elementary Building Leaders
Mrs. Miner- Elementary Principal
As the Elementary Principal for the School District of Westfield, I bring 20 years of experience in education, including roles as a teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and coordinator for gifted and talented programs, as well as summer school and after-school initiatives. Each of these roles has shaped my belief that strong teaching and learning come from high expectations, purposeful support, and meaningful relationships. I believe in setting high standards for both students and staff, knowing that everyone has the potential to succeed when given the right tools and encouragement. I am committed to creating an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and has access to the resources they need to thrive. I envision our schools as places where all children feel empowered to grow, learn, and succeed. I look forward to my third year working with the students, parents, staff, and greater community of the district. Together, we will continue to celebrate all the wonderful things that make the School District of Westfield a great place to live and learn.
Mrs. Meinhardt - Elementary Principal
With 24 years of experience in education, I am passionate about student growth, instructional excellence, and inclusive learning environments. I have taught at both the elementary and middle school levels and have served in a variety of leadership roles, including being a mentor teacher, instructional coach, summer school coordinator, team leader, and member of curriculum pilot committees.
I am grounded in the belief that all students can learn at high levels and am committed to fostering a welcoming, safe, and supportive school communities where every student feels valued and empowered. I embrace a collaborative leadership style that centers on working closely with teachers, families, and all stakeholders to ensure that the School District of Westfield continues to be a place where excellence and community thrive.
