In Her Own Words:
"I first discovered my love for teaching at 17, when I began teaching Sunday school. Although I hadn’t planned to pursue education in college, I prayed about where God wanted me as I prepared to transfer to Xavier in my junior year of college, and the next morning I changed my major. Twenty-eight and a half years later, seeing children make breakthroughs and working alongside our staff and families to help them succeed still fills me with that same sense of purpose."

Our National Principals Month spotlights continue with Aimie Heiden, Principal of Lakewood Elementary School! 🏫
As we celebrate this month's 7 Mindsets theme, Passion First, we're highlighting what inspired our principals to pursue education and what continues to motivate them today. We're also taking a look back at where their journeys began with photos from early in their careers alongside photos from today!
In Her Own Words:
"My 2nd-grade teacher, Ms. Rivero, was the spark that ignited my passion for education. She was deeply compassionate, made genuine personal connections with each of us, and served as our biggest cheerleader—especially when we struggled. Her belief in me at such a young age set my path in stone; the thought of pursuing any other profession truly never crossed my mind.
Today, as a principal, the memory of Ms. Rivero and the way she made me feel about school keeps my passion alive. She showed me the profound impact an educator can have, and I bring that standard to my school every single day. My goal is to ensure that every student who enters our building feels safe, supported, and loved—both academically and socially—so they can discover their own potential just as I did."
Join us in celebrating Ms. Heiden and the positive impact she makes on the Lakewood Elementary School community! 👏
