What an honor it is to serve as the Principal and Associate Principal of McKinley Elementary! McKinley is truly an amazing school, and every day we are reminded of why this work matters. Our exceptional teachers, dedicated staff, and engaged community work together to create a nurturing, inclusive, and academically rich environment for every student.
Together, we bring over 40 years of experience in elementary education, having served in roles including paraprofessional, classroom teacher, instructional coach, district resource teacher, and administrator. Jonathan is entering his fifth year as Principal of McKinley, and Jennifer is entering her second year as Associate Principal. We continue to be inspired daily by the joy, curiosity, and creativity of our Magpies.
We are passionate about working in partnership with teachers and families to ensure every student receives the highest quality instruction and feels seen, valued, and supported in all aspects of their development. Our leadership is grounded in collaboration, continuous improvement, and a shared belief in the limitless potential of every child.
We look forward to a wonderful school year as we work together to ensure all McKinley Magpies soar.
With gratitude,
Jonathan Morello and Jennifer Nannini
