Greetings Spring Mill Elementary Bulldogs!

My name is Kellèe Merritt and I am the proud principal of SMES. I am excited to be the principal of Spring Mill Elementary School, serving as the fifth principal of this school since it opened in 1959. My previous experience has been as a classroom teacher, assistant principal, and instructional coach. I have been an educator for over 25 years, and I couldn’t be more proud to serve the students and families of this outstanding school community.

Spring Mill is a very special place, characterized by diversity and a focus on equity and inclusion. As you walk the hallways of our newly renovated building, students are greeted with smiles and hugs from many members of our school family. One thing is certain, our students know how to express empathy towards others and are open to love. It is one of the things that makes our school community so unique.

You will find that our classrooms are engaging and responsive to the diverse needs of the students we serve. We are fostering learning environments where students can be agentive, demonstrating choice, voice, and ownership within the content they are exploring. Through the Science of Reading and Eureka Math, our literacy and math curricula provide every learner opportunities for meaningful discourse and independent practice to exhibit mastery. This is a place where your child’s social, emotional, physical, academic, and behavioral needs will be met as our focus is centered upon developing the whole child.

I am the mother of two daughters, who spent their preschool and elementary school years in Washington Township. As both an employee and parent, I can assure you that this school district offers a wide variety of experiences and opportunities for young learners. If you are in the area, please stop by and check out our neighborhood school. We would love to take you on a tour of our renovated facility. There has never been a better time to be a Spring Mill Elementary Bulldog. #everystudenteverytime
