Montie Koehn-Sill Named Lower Division Director

Mrs. Koehn-Sill has devoted her life to educating young children. She has more than eight years of experience in the classroom, teaching first, second, third, and fourth grades. For the past 15 years, Mrs. Koehn-Sill has served as the Principal of two elementary schools in the Oklahoma City area. Under her leadership, the culture and atmosphere of both schools were transformed and became positive learning environments. Both schools became “Great Expectation Model Schools.” In 2011, Mrs. Koehn-Sill was named Oklahoma’s National Distinguished Principal of the Year and represented our state and all Oklahoma educators in Washington, D.C. She currently serves as Secretary on the Board of Great Expectations and is also involved in the A+ Schools programs, along with many of our own Casady teachers.

"Our process found the right candidate for Casady and the right candidate for your children, and I thank all of you who participated in that process," said Nathan L. Sheldon, Head of Casady School. "I greatly appreciate the parents, faculty, and administrators who formed a thorough and thoughtful search group that provided valuable input and feedback. All of this has been helpful in my decision process."

Mrs. Koehn-Sill is excited to get to know and work with the students, parents, teachers, and administrators at Casady School.

“The more I came on campus, the more I fell in love with the students, the mission, and the ability to lead such an amazing group of educators as we look to take a great program built by Mrs. France and see how we can make it even better as we adjust and adapt to the changes in the world around us," she said. "I know I have a lot to learn as I move from ‘public’ to the ‘Independent’ school environment, but I couldn’t be more excited and energized about the move, and I am looking forward to jumping all into the Casady Community. My son Jack, an incoming ninth grader, is excited about the opportunity to become a Cyclone. Our family is looking forward to getting to know more of you as we begin to embrace a community that I have come to love during my interview experience with parents, teachers, students, and administrators.”

Mrs. France has done wonderful work, and we are grateful to be in such a solid position to be able to take a Division in great shape to even higher levels as we look to the future under the direction of Mrs. Koehn-Sill. She will partner with Mrs. France on major issues affecting the Lower Division this spring. We look forward to Montie joining our team full time beginning July 1. We look forward to welcoming Montie and her family to our Casady Community.
