Meet Mrs. Jennifer Seidel, Greenwood Principal

    Dear Greenwood Staff, Students, and Families,

    I am honored and elated to serve as the principal at Greenwood Elementary School. I am filled with pride to be a part of such a strong community dedicated to academic excellence and the well-being of all students. I appreciate the opportunity to work closely with each one of you, as we partner to ensure the success of every Greenwood student.

    I started my journey with Montgomery County Public Schools at Sherwood Elementary School 30 years ago. During my career, I have served in a variety of capacities, including classroom teacher, instructional support teacher, reading initiative teacher, ESOL teacher, elected member and president of the Carroll County Board of Education, assistant school administrator, assistant principal, and principal intern.

    In addition to these experiences, I bring the perspective of a parent to the role of principal. My husband, Steve, and I are the proud parents of one recent college graduate and one college student. As a family, we enjoy spending time together, traveling, and cheering on the Penn State Nittany Lions! As a parent, I understand and appreciate the trust you put in us as educators each day when you send your students to school, and I can assure you that we will treat your children with great care, as if they were our own.

    I look forward to partnering with you as we enter the 2024-25 school year focused on the Greenwood traditions of excellence, relationships, and respect. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me via email at Jennifer_A_Seidel@mcpsmd.org. It’s great to be a Greenwood Gator!

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. Jennifer Seidel

    Principal

    Greenwood Elementary School
