Dear Beechwood Family,

It is with excitement that I introduce myself to you as the new principal of Beechwood Elementary School. For the past two years, I served as principal of Chillicothe Primary School which is an Ohio STEM designated school. I previously served at New Albany Middle School as a data coach, 5th-8th grade choir director, team leader, and student council advisor. I am passionate about building strong relationships, interdisciplinary learning and educating the whole child.

I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, and have taught in Texas, New York and Ohio. I reside in New Albany with my husband Rob and we have been blessed with three children. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of communication and trust in our school. Please do not hesitate at any time to reach out to me or the school staff with your ideas, feedback, or ways to improve our learning community. 

Keep watch for newsletters and social media posts as we begin our journey together.

I am excited to work with you to make this a year of great success for Beechwood Elementary School!


Go Bulldogs!

Kim Hurst
