Meet Mrs. Whateley
A Note from our new Assistant Principal
Hi Hicks Families! My name is Angela Whateley (wait-lee) and I am thrilled to be joining the Wayne-Westland community as the new assistant principal at Hicks! I come to Hicks with 11 years of experience in education as an elementary and middle school classroom teacher, Title I student support specialist, and instructional coach. Throughout my career I have advocated for equity in education and recognize the importance of building relationships to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all students. Based on everything I have learned about the Hicks community, I can't help but feel like this is exactly where I belong!
There has been a lot of change in my life recently! This summer my husband and I welcomed our first baby, a little girl named Nola! We also have three rescue dogs who complete our family. When I am not at school I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, traveling or checking out new restaurants.
I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and your kiddos, as well as partnering with Mrs. Gee, staff and families as a Hicks Hornet!
Meet Nola!
Meet My Family!
My parents, my husband, my sister and brother-in-law, nephew and nieces!
Meet My Dogs!
