Wednesday, May 22, 2013

BENTONVILLE — Karrie Bradshaw will be the next principal at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

Bradshaw has been an assistant principal at Apple Glen Elementary School since 2008. Before that she was a teacher for eight years at elementary schools in Bentonville and Springdale, said Galen Havner, director of human resources for the Bentonville School District. She has a master’s degree in educational leadership from Harding University.

Bradshaw will replace Janet Schwanhausser, who is transferring to the district office to become director of federal programs. The change is effective July 1.

The School District interviewed eight people for the principal’s job, including five from within the district, Havner said.

Bradshaw is the daughter of Ron Bradshaw, a former assistant superintendent in the Springdale School District.
