Welcome to Wheeler Elementary!
My name is Courtney Manzitto, and it is with great honor and excitement that I begin my sixth year as Principal of Wheeler Elementary during the 23-24 school year. Over the past 18 years I have worked as an interventionist, classroom teacher of various grades 1st-5th, and administrative roles. I received both my undergraduate degree and Masters in Literacy from the University of Nebraska- Omaha, followed by the completion of my Doctoral Degree in Educational Administration from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln in May of 2016.
My greatest achievement comes not professionally, but personally, as my husband, Phil, and I are parents of three amazing children: Bella, Mason, and Luci. Their unique gifts and talents inspire me daily to help all children and adults reach their full potential and instill the highest sense of value to their own individual contributions to our world.
My hope is for you to feel my genuine passion for education, commitment to continued excellence at Wheeler, and drive to ensure success for every child in all I do.
Mr. Wunderlich and I are thrilled to share that this year’s theme for Wheeler is Wildcat World of Creativity! Our focus every year is to continue the #BEKIND initiative that IS a way of life for our Wildcat community as we continue making the world a better place.
Sincerely,
Dr. Courtney Manzitto
