Meet the Principals
by Cathy Slee
Welcome to Oakwood School! As you know this is my first year in the Lemont Schools, and I feel very fortunate to work with such wonderful staff members and exceptional students. Prior to coming to Lemont, I was principal of Hadley Middle School in Homer Glen for two years and principal of Robinson School, a K-5 building in Lyons, for three years. I have been in the educational arena for almost 20 years, and I have to say that each day is still new, exciting, and rewarding.
On a personal note, I have three children, all of whom are currently enrolled in the Lemont Schools. I am an advocate of the schools and truly believe in giving back to the community. My hobbies include reading, traveling, and spending time with my family.
Janice Carr has been working at Oakwood School for the past six years as the assistant principal. Prior to becoming an assistant principal, she was a kindergarten and special education teacher. She enjoys working in the primary building with young children.
Please know that Mrs. Carr and I have an open door policy. Don’t hesitate to contact us via phone, e-mail, or just stop by in person. We believe that working collaboratively with parents truly makes a difference in the life of a child.
We thank you for your support and look forward to a great year!
Catherine Slee, Principal
