McKinley Bobcat Newsletter

I hope this message finds you all taking the time to enjoy the last stretch of summer that we have left. My name is Chase Gildenzoph and the first question you probably have is how do you say that last name! It is pronounced gil-den-zoff but you can also just call me Mr. G!

I am very excited to begin my first year as the principal at McKinley Elementary. This will be the start of my fifteenth year in education. Previously I was a high school mathematics teacher for my first five years and the past nine years I have served as the principal at Oxford and Coloma Elementary in the Westfield School District. I am looking forward to building and growing relationships here at McKinley Elementary!

I am a proud UW-Stevens Point alumni where I received my undergrad degree in Mathematics Education in 2010. I completed my master degree in Education Administration from Concordia University in 2015.

Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of your child's educational journey. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at our open house and throughout this school year.

Thanks,

Mr. Gildenzoph
