BROOKFIELD — The Elmbrook Board of Education approved on Monday the promotion of Emily Greiber to assistant superintendent of teaching and learning and Mekenna Ellis to director of elementary education.
'We take immense pride in the talent we've nurtured within our organization," said Superintendent Mark Hansen. 'Emily and Mekenna have flourished, expanding their influence as leaders in literacy and education not only within our community but also across the broader region."
Greiber has been employed with Elmbrook Schools since 2013, beginning as director of assessment before becoming director of elementary education in 2016.
"During that time, she oversaw the successful implementation of various new elementary curricula and resources. Prior to her time in Elmbrook, she served in several administrative and teaching roles in Greenfield School District in Wisconsin and Dysart Unified School District in Arizona," the release said.
Ellis started at Elmbrook Schools in 2018 as associate principal of Burleigh Elementary School before transitioning to director of early literacy in 2022. Prior to Elmbrook, she was a reading specialist and literacy coach for Wauwatosa School District and as an elementary teacher at Trevor-Wilmot Grade School.
"Both Emily and Mekenna were recognized alongside their team for their work with science-based reading in 2023. Mekenna will fill Emily’s position, and Emily Greiber will replace Dr. Tanya Fredrich effective July 1, 2024. We thank Tanya for her 17 years of service to Elmbrook as she departs to become the next superintendent of Monona Grove. We are excited to welcome Emily and Mekenna into their new roles," the release said.
