Meet the new Parkview principal

I'm pleased to announce that Springfield Public Schools has selected Eric Ramsey as the new principal for Parkview High School. He is a veteran educator with eight years’ experience as a high school assistant principal. He comes to SPS from Willard High School where he currently serves as assistant principal.

Mr. Ramsey will be a great addition to our staff. He brings with him extensive leadership experience and a reputation for developing relationships with students, staff and patrons.

Ramsey has 14 years of experience in teaching and/or coaching which spans education levels K-16. He has earned his Masters of Science in Educational Administration and Specialist in Education Administration degrees and will begin working toward an Educational Doctoral Degree this summer.

Earlier in his career, Ramsey coached multiple varsity sports including three years as head football coach at Willard High School. Previously, he taught health and physical education at Winnetonka High School, 7th and 8th grade science at Stockton Middle School, elementary physical education at Campbell and York elementary schools, and served as an adjunct professor for Missouri State University.

I also want to thank Chance Wistrom for his excellent work as principal at Parkview over these last few years. Chance is leaving SPS to become the superintendent in Miller, MO. They're getting a great leader for their district, and I wish Chance all the best.

We've also named four new assistant principals for 2010-2011.

Kelly Jacobs will be the new assistant principal at Pleasant View Elementary and Middle School. She comes to Pleasant View after serving as an instructional specialist for the district since 2007. From 1999-2007, Jacobs was a teacher at McBride Elementary School.

Robert Kroll will be the new assistant principal at Pershing Elementary and Middle School. He has taught science since 2003 at Reed Middle School.

Stacye Manlove will be the new assistant principal at Hickory Hills Elementary and Middle School. She is currently assistant to the principal at Disney and Wanda Gray elementary schools. Manlove has been employed by SPS since 1998 at Sherwood, Doling, Twain, Rountree, Jeffries, and McBride elementary schools, serving as classroom teacher and librarian.

Tammy Quinn is a 20-year veteran educator with 14 years experience with SPS. She will be the new assistant principal at Glendale High School. She currently serves as coordinator of site interventions at Kickapoo High School where she has managed those responsibilities for the past three years. Prior to her current responsibilities, Quinn taught communication arts, speech, and drama, along with spending four years as a STARR teacher with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
