Principal's Message
Dr. Kerr
The Mission
If I am not positively impacting a life as a servant leader, then I have wasted mine. I bring a deep commitment, sense of responsibility, and passion toward living a “life of excellence”.
The "Why"
My “why” is founded on my top values: spirituality and faith, trust/integrity, family, hope, achievement, responsibility and a deep sense of belief. I believe in the worth of each individual student and am committed to closing the achievement gap for all learners by empowering and equipping student and teacher leaders as passionate and skilled 21st century learners.
The Calling
Since I was a young woman, I always felt called to servant leadership, specifically in the field of teaching and education. I feel fortunate and honored to be the principal at a school that serves a diverse population of incredibly talented and brilliant student leaders and teacher leaders. For me; students matter, relationships matter, Live Oak matters, and academic, leadership, and character success matters. There is no greater joy than to see an individual grow and feel as if I played a small role in supporting that growth!
The FUN
I love staying active (running, cycling, hiking), being creative (our new Leader in Me signs), surfing Twitter and Pinterest, enjoying a Starbucks, and watching movies for fun, all the while, engaging in activities that include my amazing husband and two high school sons.

La Misión
Si no me impactan positivamente una vida como un líder siervo, entonces he perdido la mía. Traigo un compromiso profundo, sentido de la responsabilidad, y la pasión hacia vivir una "vida de la excelencia".
“El Porque "
Mi "por qué" se funda en mis principales valores: la espiritualidad y la fe, la confianza / integridad, la familia, la esperanza, el logro, responsabilidad y un profundo sentido de la creencia. Yo creo en el valor de cada estudiante y estoy comprometido a cerrar la brecha de logros para todos los estudiantes mediante la potenciación y el equipamiento de alumnos y profesores como estudiantes líderes apasionados y expertos del siglo 21.
La Llamada
Desde que era una mujer joven, siempre me sentí llamado a un liderazgo de servicio, específicamente en el campo de la enseñanza y la educación. Me siento afortunado y honrado de ser el director de una escuela que atiende a una población diversa de estudiantes líderes increíblemente talentosos y brillantes y los líderes de los maestros. Para mí; los estudiantes son importantes, las relaciones son importantes, asuntos Live Oak y académica, liderazgo, y asuntos de éxito carácter. No hay mayor alegría que ver a un individuo a crecer y sentir como si he jugado un pequeño papel en el apoyo que el crecimiento!
La Diversión
Me encanta estar activa (en ejecución, ciclismo, senderismo), ser creativo, y ver películas para la diversión, al mismo tiempo, la participación en actividades que incluyen mi increíble esposo y sus dos hijos de la escuela secundaria. He estado en la escuela de postgrado de los últimos 4 años y he recibido mi doctorado en Liderazgo Educativo, así que definitivamente tengo ganas de añadir un poco más "divertido" y aumenté "afilar la sierra" tiempo en este nuevo año escolar!
Respetuosamente,
Wendy Kerr, directora
Escuela Live Oak, un líder en mi escuela
