Hello!

My name is Kimberly Wilson and I am honored to be the new leader of Pierre Laclede Junior Career Academy. I am excited to join an awesome learning environment with such persevering students and families, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. Just a little info about me…I have been dedicated to the field of education for 15+ years.  Prior to becoming the principal here at Laclede, I worked with students from Kindergarten through 12^th grade in a variety of roles. I truly enjoy teaching and learning and I am thrilled to utilize my skills as an educational leader at Laclede Academy to ensure the success of each and every student.

My goal is to build excellent working relationships with the faculty, students, families, and members of the community. That being stated, I invite you to bring any concerns to my attention throughout the year. To ensure that students obtain a high-quality education, I believe that all stakeholders must work together. We at Laclede are committed to providing a learning environment that fosters student growth and development, as well as exceptional instruction and learning opportunities.  

As someone who sees education as a lifelong endeavor, I never stop learning from the parents, staff, and students in our district. Most significantly, I think that all choices connected to education must put the needs of the students first. I look forward to a fantastic school year and I am confident that with collaboration our students will experience the dynamic education they deserve!

Thank you and here's to a fantastic 2022-2023 school year!

Ms. Kimberly Wilson
