What began as a Blue Valley student inspired by the teachers who shaped his education has grown into a career dedicated to serving the same community. From AVID tutor and substitute teacher to classroom educator and now assistant principal, Chris Huggardβs journey has come full circle as he helps prepare for the opening of Wolf Springs Middle next school year. ππΎ
βGrowing up, I had lived all over the country and attended so many different school systems, large and small. Blue Valley has always been different in the level of care and concern that I felt I received from day one. The teachers in Blue Valley were my mentors that inspired me to become a teacher in the first place,β said Huggard.
Chris, a graduate of Blue Valley Northwest High School, returned to the district that shaped his love for education and has embraced opportunities to grow throughout his career. From teaching English Language Arts at Aubry Bend Middle and supporting students through activities and athletics to serving in leadership roles, he has built meaningful relationships while helping others succeed. Each experience has helped prepare him for this next chapter. π±π«
"[Wolf Springs Middle principal Courtney Domoney and I] have been very purposeful in our hiring practices, meetings with community members and in connecting with student committees to say and emphasize that we want this to be a place that everyone wants to be," said Huggard.
Chris, thank you for your exceptional commitment to supporting students, building community and inspiring others and for choosing the Blue Valley School District as your place to shape the next generation. β¨π
