Westfield Washington Schools has announced that, effective immediately, Sarah Zack will assume the role of principal of Washington Woods Elementary School. The position opened when the former principal, Tom Hakim, accepted a middle school principal position in Washington Township in Marion County.

Most recently, Zack served as assistant principal at Washington Woods since July 2021. Before that, she was a principal at Eleanor Skillen School 34 in the Indianapolis Public School district. Other experiences include being an assistant principal, an instructional coach at the college level, and a special education teacher.
With a year under her belt at Washington Woods, Zack says she is prepared for the task of taking the helm of the building with approximately 650 students and nearly 80 staff members.
“I have loved serving as the assistant principal at Washington Woods, and I’m ecstatic that I’ll be able to take an even bigger role here,” Zack said. “I’ve had the opportunity to learn about the incredible community of Westfield, gain the trust of families, lead the school team, and have an impact on the great students and staff in our building.”
Dr. Paul A. Kaiser, superintendent of Westfield Washington Schools, says he has full faith and confidence in Zack.
“From the first time that I met Sarah, I knew that she was an exceptional educator with the potential to make a huge impact on the students of our district,” Kaiser said. “I’m excited for our Washington Woods families, and other families in our district, to build a stronger relationship with her.”
Zack received her master’s degree in science in education from Butler University and her bachelor’s degree in science in education from Indiana University of Education. Sarah lives in Zionsville with her husband, Marc, and their two children John, 16, and Emily, 14. She and her family enjoy basketball, hockey, hiking and running.
