Hello Mustang Families!
My name is Aimee Wojciechowski and I am proud to be the Assistant Principal for Manzanita Elementary. I am excited to help students, staff, and families L.E.A.D. and develop skills to be successful both inside and outside of school.
I started my journey in education at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan where I earned my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. After graduation, I moved to Arizona to work in the Deer Valley Unified School District where I taught 4th and 6th grade. Through my roles on campus, I learned that school leadership and improvement were my passion and I began my Masters in Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University. I joined the WESD family as the Instructional Coach for Sahuaro Elementary where I worked for two years before coming to Manzanita. I am bringing a love of developing school climate and culture and a high belief that all students can learn.
I am looking forward to working with you and your students this year to develop the young LEADers in our community! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you have, ways I can better serve you and your student, or just to chat and get to know me.
