A little about Principal Willis..... I am originally from a small town in Ohio where I was raised by my parents, Joyce and Jerry Capers.  I moved to Arizona in 1998 to study Elementary Education at Arizona State University.  I have been married to my husband, Bob, for 20 years and we have two boys, Matthew (16) and Brody (14). After I graduated college, I began teaching in the Litchfield School District where I taught 4th, 5th, and 6th grade.  In 2008, I received my Masters in Educational Leadership which led me to become an Instructional Coach at Mabel Padgett.  In 2018, I was hired to serve as the Principal at MPE.  I am overjoyed to be in a position to positively impact the lives of students and teachers at MPE.

 

As a parent and an elementary school principal, I am very invested in our community and the students we serve. I believe it takes a collaborative effort from teachers, parents, board members, administrators, students and community members to have a successful school that provides an excellent environment for teaching and learning.
