Welcome to Walden Elementary!

My name is Stephanie Strenger and it's an honor to begin my 6th year serving as the principal of Walden School. It's an amazing place to call home. I have worked in the Deerfield 109 schools since 2005, starting as a primary teacher at Wilmot, moving to Walden as an instructional coach, spending one year at Shepard as the assistant principal, and returning to Walden as the principal in 2019. I have enjoyed every position in this incredible district and I am proud of the work that we have done over the years for students and families. Walden is a place where students come first. Our staff is extremely committed to getting to know each child individually and supporting their social-emotional and academic growth. We work as partners with families and are here to create the best possible educational environment for our Wildcats. It is my privilege to be a part of this team and I am looking forward to the 24-25 school year!

Welcome home Walden Wildcats!

Sincerely,
Stephanie Strenger
