Dear Oak Ridge Community,
I have dedicated the past 25 years to serving students in public education. I have been a JH/HS science teacher for 13 of those years and a building principal or superintendent the remaining 12 years. Although every aspect of education has its challenges, each of these positions has been rewarding and I am so thankful I have had the opportunity to grow in these roles. Elementary principal holds a special place in my heart. Oak Ridge holds a special place in my heart. As I have gotten to know folks around Oak Ridge, I have found them to be genuinely supportive and helpful with small town pride and values.
I am married and live on a farm with my husband. We have four children. Three of our children are grown and have families of their own. Our youngest is still in high school. We have five grandchildren.
My hobbies include golfing, hunting, fishing, riding horses, attending sporting events, and just about anything that allows me to spend time outdoors.
If you are new to Oak Ridge, please stop by and introduce yourself so I can get to know you and your story.
Sincerely,
Sonia Wood
