FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCONOMOWOC, WI – April 9, 2018. Summit Elementary Principal Brian Stuckey was chosen as one of 16 principals across the state recognized with the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation 2018 Leadership Award. The Herb Kohl Educational Foundation established the award to recognize outstanding Wisconsin school principals or administrators. Stuckey was nominated by Julie Artz, a Reading Specialist at Summit Elementary School.
Julie Artz shared, “Mr. Stuckey challenges our staff to set rigorous goals and implement bold action plans. He provides teachers with valuable feedback, and he encourages us to take risks and try new instructional strategies to increase student engagement and learning. He fosters a culture of respect, engagement, and life-long learning. He seeks the input of others because he knows that we can accomplish so much more when we work together.” Artz went on to say, “Mr. Stuckey is always there for each child, each parent, and each teacher as they face challenges and celebrate successes. Mr. Stuckey exemplifies the kind of leader we need in schools today and is most deserving of the Kohl Leadership Award.”
The Herb Kohl Leadership Award recognizes school principals who have set high standards for instruction, achievement, and character, and created a climate to best serve students, families, staff, and community. Herb Kohl hosted outstanding students, teachers, and principals from southeast Wisconsin at the Kohl Educational Foundation luncheon on April 8 in Milwaukee.
As an award winner, Mr. Stuckey will receive a $6,000 Leadership grant, and an additional $6,000 awarded to Summit Elementary for use in innovative educational projects.
