(From Springfield Public Schools)Dr. Sara Shevchuk, the current principal of McGregor Elementary, has been named the next principal of Truman Elementary, effective July 1. Dr. Shevchuk will transition to this new role as Dr. Joellyn Travis retires from SPS after 26 years in education.
“Sara is an exceptional leader and I am confident that her emphasis on building strong relationships with students, parents, teachers and support staff will lead to a seamless transition at Truman,” said Dr. J. Anderson, executive director of elementary learning for SPS.
“We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Travis who will leave an important, lasting legacy when she retires in June.”
Prior to serving as principal of McGregor for ten years, Dr. Shevchuk was the assistant to the principal at Jeffries Elementary and taught math at Jarrett Middle School for five years. She completed her undergraduate and graduate work at Missouri State University and a doctorate in educational leadership at Southwest Baptist University.
“I look forward to engaging with the Truman community and to building on Truman’s long tradition of excellence and north side pride,” said Dr. Shevchuk.
