Espy Elementary Principal
Mrs. Abby Wright
It is an honor to serve as the Assistant Principal of Espy Elementary and to be a part of the Nixa School District. Before becoming an Assistant Principal, I served as an Instructional Coach and a classroom teacher. As a graduate of Nixa, I recognized the district's rich tradition of academic excellence. I am thankful to have the opportunity to uphold Nixa’s high standards of learning as I serve the students and families of Espy and the Nixa community. It is a great privilege to work and learn alongside an amazing team of educators each day who have a passion for meeting the social, emotional, and academic needs of each and every child.
My favorite part of education is building relationships with students. I believe every student deserves the opportunity to receive high-quality instruction and that educators play a vital role in helping cultivate a love for learning in students. It is my goal that each day every child is loved, served, and cared for when they walk through the doors of Espy Elementary. I value a positive school culture with committed educators and parents that always do what is best for students. Together we can help our children become lifelong learners who grow to achieve their personal best in the classroom and beyond.
I look forward to a great year!
