Happy 2018-2019 School Year!
I graduated from Missouri State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, and also obtained certification in Early Childhood Education. In 2010, I completed my Master of Science in Education, Educational Administration, also from Missouri State University. I completed my doctoral classes this past year, am currently writing my dissertation and will graduate from Southwest Baptist University a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership in May, 2019.
I began my teaching career at York Elementary, where I taught for three years before transferring to David Harrison Elementary. I taught and served as Lead Teacher at David Harrison for the next three years. I served as an assistant principal and principal for the SPS Summer School Program for two summers, prior to becoming the principal at Sequiota Elementary for the last five years. I am passionate about children, families, education and making the world a better place by investing in people. I absolutely love my job and coming to work each day.
When I am not at school I love spending time with my family. I am a wife to Ryan and a mother of four. Larrissa is 19, Nyah is 17, Joslyn is 12 and Tristan is 7. As you can imagine, there is rarely a dull moment at the Magers house! As a family, we love to be outside and stay busy with basketball, gymnastics, camping, hiking, traveling and floating. We love anything near water and enjoy watching movies and cooking!
I'm looking for a parent who would be willing to attend the Parent Advisory Meeting with Dr. Jungmann, to represent Sherwood. The meetings are once a month. Please email clmagers@spsmail.org if you are interested!
