Marvel
Westfield Washington Schools (WWS) has announced that effective July 1, Jeremy Marvel will assume the role of principal of Monon Trail Elementary School. The position became available when the current principal, Dana Dietz, accepted a principal position in Speedway, Ind.
Most recently, Marvel served as assistant principal at Shamrock Springs since June 2017. Before that, he taught at New Augusta Public Academy South in Pike Township in Marion County for nearly 10 years. And prior to that, he worked as an information systems manager until his passion for working with kids led him to teaching.
“I am extremely honored and excited to be named the next principal at Monon Trail Elementary School,” Marvel said. “I am looking forward to building relationships with the staff, students and their families.”
Though he will be new to the building with approximately 525 students and nearly 70 staff members, he is no stranger to the community or the school district. Shamrock Springs Elementary School Principal Robb Hedges credits Marvel with a lot of the success they’ve had together.
“Monon Trail will absolutely love working with Mr. Marvel,” Hedges said. “He lives out his core principles – collaborator, student-centered, and builds trust by building strong relationships with all stakeholders. Although he will be severely missed by the entire Shamrock Springs family, we are thankful that he helped make Shamrock Springs become a better place due to his positive leadership.”
WWS Superintendent Dr. Paul A. Kaiser said, “In my short tenure in Westfield Washington Schools, I’ve clearly been able to see how hard Jeremy works and how dedicated he is to the students and to the community. I look forward to seeing him make great relationships at Monon Trail and continue to grow as a person and as an educator.”
Marvel received his bachelor’s degree in management information systems from Indiana State University. Jeremy and his wife Kristy are Westfield residents and have three children who attend Westfield Washington Schools.
