October is Principal Appreciation Month, a time to honor and celebrate the leaders who make a difference in our schools every day. We’re celebrating CICS Prairie Principal Rachael Beucher, who has spent her career dedicated to educational leadership. Inspired by her family of educators and an early love of learning, Ms. Beucher knew from a young age that she wanted to become a teacher.
Ms. Beucher believes that students need stimulating, hands-on learning experiences that will prepare them for future challenges throughout life. That’s why she focuses on academic growth, supporting social and emotional development, helping teachers grow in their practice, and using data to drive instruction and school goals. She collaborates with the team at CICS Prairie to cultivate community partnerships, developing as a community hub, and opening access to educational opportunities for all students.
Ms. Beucher’s hands-on approach to leadership builds strong relationships with students, staff, and families alike. She fosters a culture of high expectations and accountability. CICS Prairie has seen growth in family involvement and leadership effectiveness, leading to expanded design teams and increased parent PTA and BAC involvement.
As she leads CICS Prairie into another school year, Ms. Beucher is eager to see what they will accomplish together with the support of families and community partners. Thank you for your steadfast commitment to the success of our students, staff, and the entire school community, Ms. Beucher!
