Morgan Elementary educator Tami Snyder has been selected by the Morgan SBDM Council to be the new principal of Morgan Elementary School.
Snyder attended Southern Illinois University, where she earned a B.S. in Elementary Education. She received an M.S. in Library Media Education from Western Kentucky University and completed an M.A. in School Administration at Murray State University.
Snyder has taught for Paducah Public Schools for 18 years. She began her work with the district at Paducah Middle School before transferring to Cooper Whiteside in 2005. Snyder has taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade at Morgan Elementary since 2007.
“Tami has been a dedicated educator at Morgan Elementary for many years,” said Assistant Superintendent William Black. “In her new role as Morgan Principal, she will combine her love of the Morgan community with a wealth of instructional knowledge to help the school move closer to its vision of meeting the needs of each and every student.”
“I am honored to have been chosen to serve as principal at Morgan Elementary,” Snyder said. “I have a passion for Paducah Public Schools. My youngest son attends Morgan Elementary, my oldest son attends PTHS and my husband is a social studies teacher at PTHS. Therefore, our family truly believes that ‘Blue is Best!’ I have a tremendous understanding and undying compassion for our students and their families. I will work effortlessly to make sure that all aspects of their needs are met and that they perform to the highest level possible.”
Snyder will assume leadership of the school on July 1 from Dr. Mark Fenske, who resigned to become principal of Livingston County Middle School.
