Meet Your Principal: Amber Applebee
I grew up in Wisconsin Rapids and am a proud graduate of the Wisconsin Rapids Public School District. I love this area so much that I decided to stay so that my own children could also have access to the great opportunities our district and community has to offer. I started in the district as a brand new educator in 2006. My first twelve years were spent teaching at Woodside Elementary, which was a great place to kick off and grow my career in education. For the next three years, I branched out to many areas in our district, working as an instructional coach, a second grade teacher at Mead, a math interventionist, a virtual 5th grade teacher, and the Elementary GT Coordinator. Phew! It has been quite a journey, and I loved every minute of it.
My passion for ensuring success for both our students and our staff has led me to the role of a principal. I know our students benefit most when we work together and support one another, which is why I prioritize building strong relationships between students, staff, and families. Throughout my time in the district, I've worked with so many amazing people; one group being the wonderful staff at Mead. I was incredibly blessed to begin my administrative career leading such a supportive, dedicated group of educators who embrace learning from one another and work together to always give our best to our students. We are a team, and together we do great things at Mead School!
