Stories from a rural principal
Lindsy Stumpenhorst
I am a Principal at Challand Middle School in Sterling, Illinois. I have written and presented for organizations including NAESP, ISTE, NASSP, ICE, IPA, and ILASCD. As a Principal, I expect students and teachers to work hard, but never alone. During the day you will find me learning alongside staff in between games of soccer or tetherball with students at recess. I have rural roots and miss a game or two at school to ride shotgun the John Deere during harvest.
This life I have chosen is consuming, and is not a path for the faint of heart, but I love it. My mind can be compared to “House of Pain” in their one hit wonder “Jump Around”. If you thought my introduction was hard to follow…just wait. It gets worse.

You are a hero to many- me included! 👍🏼😍❤️
This is so perfect!
Lindsy, you have no idea just how many people you inspire. You are so loved by so many, you are a shining star and you are creating more shining stars as you help your staff to teach and educate other people’s children as well as your own. Sterling School is so lucky to have you as their principal and I am so proud to call myself your Aunt! Much love! ❤
