Welcome Back to TK & KN Families!
Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 School Year
TK & Kinder Families,
Thank you for trusting the Murdock Learning Community with your child(ren). We all know what an honor it is to be a part of your child's education and it is a role that we feel privileged to have.
For those of you whom I haven't yet met, this is my third year as Principal at Murdock. This will be my 9th year in a school leadership position. Prior to being a school leader I was a classroom teacher. I taught Kindergarten, 4th, 5th and 6th grade.
My commitment to providing exemplary education to all students is what drives me to get up everyday and arrive at school with a smile on my face. I was raised by parents who are just as committed to giving back to their community as I am. My mother is a life-long educator, and one of my favorite years teaching was when I taught kindergarten in the classroom next door to her. My father has always been my biggest cheerleader and, who along with my mother, raised me to see the positive in any situation. My husband and I are committed raising our two young children to have the same passion for education that we both have. My background along with my daily positive experiences as a school leader propels me towards every challenge with confidence and excitation.
I can't wait to meet you and your student(s)!
Ms Meghann
