Hello Sigel Scholars Family!
I’m honored to serve as the new Principal of Sigel Elementary School and excited to begin this journey with our amazing students, staff, and families. With 11 years in education—including 7 years teaching at Northwest High School and 4 years in leadership roles at Vashon High School—I bring a passion for learning, a commitment to student success, and a belief in the power of strong school-community partnerships.
I hold three Master’s degrees in Secondary Education (School Counseling), Curriculum & Instruction, and Educational Administration, as well as a Reading Specialist certificate, and a Doctorate in Teacher Leadership. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive.
Outside of school, I enjoy time with my family and crafting. I look forward to working together to make this an exceptional year for Sigel Scholars! You can reach me at shaniequa.blanchard@slps.org.
