Jr/Sr High School Principal
-
Hi! My name is Chad Folkersma, I am the Jr/Sr High School Principal at Rudyard.
It is truly an honor to be able to lead the school that I graduated myself from. Rudyard Jr/Sr High School is steep in history and pride dating back to when the school was founded in 1890. Our school offers one of the most diverse and largest curriculums in the region, including in house college courses, a variety of electives in art, theater, sciences and social studies. I believe that our school is large enough to offer a great deal of choices in courses, clubs, and sports; but small enough to relate and work with all students. We continue to look for new programs and courses to offer that will best fit our students and their needs.

Our commitment at Rudyard Elementary School is to provide a safe and academically challenging learning environment that will empower students to become productive 21st Century adults. We believe in educating our community for success.
If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me and know that my door is always open. I am honored to serve as your principal. I am looking forward to a great year filled with many exciting learning experiences and opportunities.
Yours in Education,
Wendy Peterson
Principal, Rudyard Elementary
