Meet Principal Kathy Keegan!

Hi, Eagle families! Being a principal is awesome because it gives me the chance to build strong relationships with staff, students and families, which helps set up a foundation for academic success. A few fun things about me: I love historical fiction, such as the “Little House on the Prairie” series, which hooked me as a reader in third grade. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be pizza. I grew up in Colorado and was the only girl in a family with five brothers.
