Hello Wheeler Wildcats!
I am thrilled and honored to join the Wheeler Elementary family as your new Administrative Intern. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve such a caring, committed, and inspiring school community.
My professional background is in Speech-Language Pathology. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Most recently, I completed a master’s degree in Educational Leadership through Doane University in 2023. These academic experiences have equipped me with a strong foundation in both student development and school leadership.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Austin, and our two children — a spirited 3-year-old daughter, Leighton, and a busy 1-year-old son, Knox, who bring so much joy (and energy!)
I am committed to working alongside our amazing staff and families to make Wheeler a place where every child feels empowered to learn and grow. I look forward to building strong relationships with each of you and making this school year one filled with connection, growth, and success!
Principal Wunderlich and I are thrilled to share that this year’s theme for Wheeler is Building Bright Futures! We also believe that ALL kids are OUR kids -- and 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,
Kelsey Kochsmeier
